Kael walked the corridor in silence.
He reached the end. A door—simpler than the entrance, carved from the same black marble. He pushed it open.
The corridor opened into a massive circular chamber.
Kael stopped.
The chamber was enormous—easily a hundred meters in diameter. The ceiling was so high it vanished into darkness above. The floor was covered in runic circles that pulsed with faint blue light. Seven corridors branched outward from the chamber, each one identical—dark, narrow, featureless.
Whirrr.
The mechanical voice returned.
