Flashback,
A few days after Aditya left for The Tunnel World,
Two mysterious figures hiding their faces under black hoods stepped out of the teleportation circle.
The teleportation circle was placed at the centre of a small island located in the middle of a large lake.
The small island, which was about the size of a football field, had no trees or animals living on it. There was inch-long beautiful green grass, and wildflowers were growing between the blades of grass.
At the very centre stood the teleportation array that had brought Atlas and Vega here.
"Welcome to the land of the Grey Empire." The man bowed respectfully to the two figures.
"Cut the crap!" Atlas snapped. As an inner member of the Organisation, and after being humiliated by Aditya and forced to run away like a scared dog, both he and Vega were in an extremely bad mood.
