Seeing that the great turtle posed no danger, the Fierce Raptor Druids landed on the Crystalized Giant Turtle's back, letting it carry them as it ran into the distance.
The giant turtle ran up to a large mountain and rammed its head right into it. Some of the Fierce Raptor Druids nearly took flight again in surprise, but under Pela Tek's stern gaze, they merely flapped their wings a few times.
After passing through a layer of illusion, a massive fortress appeared before the Fierce Raptor Druids.
The fortress was built into the mountain, looking as if it were embedded within the rock itself. It seemed as though the entire mountain had been hollowed out to make room for its construction.
The fortress and the mountain were seamlessly integrated, making it look as though the fortress was a natural formation of the mountain itself.
The fortress was covered in all sorts of crystals that shimmered with multicolored light, their functions a mystery.
