[ The trip back to Wyver is one that 76 knows well by now, a path he's traveled a number of times at this point. That doesn't mean that he's going to assume it will be without incident, though he isn't expecting the sudden change in landscape.
The sky brightens, but something about the sun beating down is oppressive. The dirt road he'd been riding his horse down is now concrete, the wilderness warped into an urban jungle. They're on the outskirts of a city, and Apollo is completely out of place. The horses whinnies nervously, and 76 frowns to himself as he hops off and runs a gloved hand down Apollo's flank.
When he does a scan of their surroundings, he finds the imposing form of an omnium looming in the distance.
As soon as he sees it, 76 stiffens, his chest tightening and his stomach jumping all at once. Dread floods through him. He's been transported somehow, to a place that should no longer exist for a whole variety of reasons, and he doesn't know if he's hallucinating again or what the hell is going on.
Given the circumstances, he's too distracted to realize that he and his horse are not alone. ]
