Book 5: Chapter 192: Open Door
“Ugh… Where am I…?” Luna clutched her head, slowly rising from the ground, and instinctively began to survey her surroundings.
The first thing that caught Luna’s eye was a straight corridor, its walls crafted from some kind of metal. Though she could discern faint seams between each panel, they were nearly seamless, lacking visible rivets.
The metal surfaces were impeccably smooth, save for the parts covered with intricate patterns that were engraved on them, shimmering in various colors and pulsating rhythmically as if alive.
Neatly bundled tubes of unknown purpose traced along the walls and ceilings. Luna attempted to trace their path, but they vanished into a round aperture about the size of an arm in the wall.
“All this light, yet no trace of magic,” Luna mused, perplexed by the bright illumination emanating from round white objects embedded in the ceiling. Despite detecting no magical power or burning flames within them, they radiated a brilliance surpassing even the most expensive bright stones.
These lights illuminated the long corridor from the ceiling, occasionally flickering and emitting faint buzzing noises.
“This must be a hint for me to follow this path, right?” Luna pondered aloud, surveying her surroundings.
Despite numerous branching paths, only one was brightly lit. As she took a closer look at the darker passages, she noticed they had been sealed off.
“Interesting.”
