The duo hopped and jumped from little, steep platforms until they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. And where they landed was a totally new environment. They found it hard to believe that what lay on the other side of the mountain was a barren wasteland because the place they were in looked like a typical rainforest, with vegetation that wouldn't thrive in arid conditions.Darius walked ahead, and Dracula followed, each admiring the environment around him. They could also see animals native to the area, like sloths clanging off tree branches and barpy eagles looking down at them from the top of the highest trees.What Dracula heard next was a hissing sound, and he looked around, convinced that it was a snake. Then, before him, he could see Darius turning back to him with a huge snake in his hand.

Another bad hallucination?""I'm coming in," Ino said as she walked into the room without the general's permission."Sure, go on without my permission.
