Wyatt Yardley scanned the surroundings following her gaze, chuckling softly.
"Don't worry, Isaac Vaughn has long placed a spiritual power wall around us."
As he spoke, he pointed with his mouth toward the barely visible black membrane beside them.
The barrier was semi-transparent, its edges glowing with a faint gray light.
If not inspected closely, one wouldn't notice its existence at all.
"This thing blocks sound and sight; outsiders can't hear us speak nor see what we're doing inside."
Seraphina Caldwell leaned forward to take a look, squinting her eyes to try to discern the barrier's outline.
She extended her finger tentatively, poking the membrane.
A strange sensation met her fingertips, smooth and slippery.
Her finger sank slightly into it before being quickly pushed back to its original position.
She listened closely and, sure enough, there was no sound outside the cave.
Wyatt's voice resonated next to her ear.
"Now, no one can disturb us. We can begin."
