They returned to the corridor, and began walking down it together. This time, there weren't any monsters blocking them, but the terrain became much more hostile as they advanced.
In some paths, there were cracks in the ground that leaked wisps of blood red mist and in other paths, the walls had slimy moss that dripped a poisonous substance onto the floor.
Luckily, Albedo and Ember could easily avoid it, and after walking through the corridors for what could've been minutes or hours, the path widened suddenly, the floor falling away into a cavernous expanse.
The walls around them now curved upward into a dome. The ceiling dripped with strands of black ichor, each droplet falling into one of several shallow pools that dotted the ground.
These pools didn't reflect the dome like roof, but instead had swirling visions of different places, such as cities in ruin, forests completely frozen, skies torn apart by storms and more.
