Adrian realised that he was in the inner regions of the Misty Mountains. The sheer thought alone caused sweat to start dripping down his back. He was very surprised that the exit of the mystic realm led him to the inner regions.
'What was that damn old man thinking?' He thought to himself in frustration. He finally realised what the Hundred Faced thief meant when he said 'if you can survive.' How the hell was he supposed to survive inside the inner regions?
The outer regions were already dangerous enough to kill him if he wasn't careful, now he had to somehow survive and escape inside the inner regions.
He wanted to start running, but he wasn't sure which direction would lead him back to the outer regions. Just as he was thinking, he heard the howl of the beast from before. This time it was closer, closer than before.
