Chapter 4: Holy Servant.
After asking a few more questions, Mayumi and the rest had a small grasp of understanding of this world.
They then walked in silence for about three minutes before finally arriving at their destination.
It was a very big two-door opening kind of room. On the door were mysterious runes, pictures, and drawings of legendary men and women with powerful-looking beasts and monsters. At the center of the door was an orb-like engraving. It looked like a sacred item that could only be touched by legends.
When Kenji looked at it, he felt a sense of familiarity toward the orb, as if he had seen something like that before.
"Now everyone, please take off your shoes, for we will now be going into holy ground," the king said as he bent down and began to remove his shoes.
Seeing the king taking off his shoes, the others followed suit and took theirs off as well. Immediately after they removed their shoes, the king opened the door to the chamber after saying a few words or some kind of prayer chant.
"Let's go in," he said and then walked inside.
The group looked at each other first before they finally followed him in.
As they stepped inside, they were surprised by the splendor and mysticism of this place. There was no ground; they were actually standing on water! The walls of this place looked like thick and tall willows and oak trees.
