Screeeee—!
The ground trembled, cracks webbed across the barren land like the veins of a dying beast.
Far off at the poles, thin sheets of ice began to bloom, earth's first winter sighing into existence.
The sun, once hidden behind poisonous clouds, flickered brighter for a moment, casting pale light over a man's still form lying across the jagged rock.
Wang Xiao's eye lids stirred.
A faint pulse of pressure escaped his body, like a beast waking from hibernation
The entire primordial coastline seemed to tremble the moment his eyes opened, reflecting a world that no longer belonged to modern time.
The sky above, hues of purple and green, no trace of blue.
A prehistoric atmosphere.
"…Thrown back through time?" His voice was low, unsure, bewildered yet calm. He sat up slowly, inspecting his surroundings… then froze.
"Mn?"
A sudden, soft impact landed behind him.
Fwump.
Wang Xiao's body tilted forward slightly from the gentle collision, and he sighed knowingly.
