A rush of mystic energy passed through my soul, as the outside of the barrier began to slowly fade. The moon lit this new world up unlike on the other side where everything seemed so dark. The generally low laying fog seemed to act as an extra shield for my protection. My two new friends, the beasts that I had slain in the vines, accompanied me onto the railroad. The hound’s eyes seemed to glow some kind of silver in the night, as if something unseen may have overtaken their souls in the short distance that we had gone. The beasts that once seemed so intimidating at first, almost annoying, now seemed humbled.

The hounds sniffed around in this new world, occasionally locking eyes with each other and exchanging what seemed to be mad grins.
