As the great army of the Hunger Domain moved forward to attack the Ebony Island, somewhere far away, the darkness was torn apart by blinding flashes of stark light. The shadows moved erratically as they danced on the sand walls of a colossal tunnel. The chaos was permeated by an unbearable heat, and countless figures were intertwined in a gruesome battle.
The rustling roar of shifting sand and the deafening clangor of the furious melee were like a destructive force, growing more and more violent as they echoed and spread across the tunnel.
Sunny could barely hear any of it, though, because all he could hear was the Call of Nightmare.
"Aahh…"
Stumbling, he leaned on the sand wall of the tunnel.
'I can't… I just can't…'
The pull of the Call was maddening.
It was vast like the sky and deep as an ocean, almost impossible to resist, assaulting his mind like a virulent roar. It was overwhelming, overbearing, unendurable.
