This place is larger than I thought…
Riley had already known the Ice Castle was massive from the outside.
Towering spires, walls carved from ancient frost, gates that looked like they could hold back an army.
But the inside?
It was something else entirely.
The corridors stretched far longer than they logically should.
Staircases spiraled upward for what felt like entire city blocks.
Halls branched into wings that shouldn't fit within the structure he saw from outside.
He paused for a moment and closed his eyes, sensing the space around him.
Bounded fields.
Layer upon layer of them.
The castle wasn't just built—it was folded inward.
Space expanded through celestial enchantments, overlapping dimensions carefully woven into each other.
The kind of large-scale spatial manipulation that would drain entire nations dry if attempted recklessly.
Casting this many stable layers…
That alone was a feat only a handful of beings in the world could accomplish.
