The fog around them remained thick as they entered, covering them like blankets as they waded through.
Aramith constantly felt the Youm flowing through his body, and a strange excitement flowed through his veins.
Slowly, the fog started to sink into the ground, and as it dissipated, a light started to shine through.
When the fog was completely gone, a bright flash nearly blinded them.
Squinting, Aramith shielded his eyes, after which the light started to fade, turning into a sun shining above them. Finally, they were able to see what was before them, and what the Core grounds that had been exaggerated so much looked like.
For the first time, Aramith saw a place where he truly felt at peace just by looking.
For a location that existed just behind doors in an academy, it was shocking how grand the place was.
It was twice as large as everyplace they'd been to in the academy, and looked so surreal, he might have believed he was dreaming.
