The training room was massive.
Larger than any of them had ever seen in their lives. The entire space was forged from dark, gleaming metal that shimmered under the soft lights embedded high along the walls.
"That ceiling's taller than the castle wall! How's that possible?" Taria exclaimed. "And look at the walls!"
Kaedros couldn't hide his surprise either.
This place… it's something else.
"I can't even see the ceiling," Rauk said, shading his eyes. "And what's with these massive pillars?"
Dozens of thick metal columns jutted from the ground like oversized staves and vanished upward into the darkness above, giving the room a cathedral-like height.
Thalso stood nearby, watching them closely, satisfied with their awe. He gave them time to take it all in, waiting to see who would spot the things he deemed important.
Two things, to be precise.
And Taria was the first to notice.
