The chamber narrowed as Lira and Serelyth progressed, walls now glowing with faint luminescence that illuminated the carved symbols and shapes in soft, shimmering patterns. The air was still, charged with elemental energy, and every step Lira took seemed to resonate with the vibrations beneath her feet. Finally, they reached a massive stone door set into the far wall, taller than Serelyth even in her human form, engraved with swirling elemental symbols—fire, water, earth, and air intertwined in elegant, ancient patterns.
Lira stepped closer, eyes tracing the carvings. Each symbol pulsed faintly, responding subtly to her gaze. She extended a hand, fingertips brushing over the etched air glyphs first, feeling the hum of power beneath her skin. The door responded, faintly vibrating under her touch, as though it recognized her presence but was waiting for more.
