In an unknown location, a palace stood alone on top of an inconspicuous mountain. Not only was the mountain range engineered in a way to conceal this place, but there were also many concealment formations that shrouded it.
Inside the palace, far beneath the visible layers of the palace, there was an underground chamber.
In the center of the chamber lay a pool of crimson blood, thick and viscous. Its crimson hue formed a stark contrast against the muted tones of the chamber's features. The pool glistened under the ambient light, casting an eerie reflection that danced across the polished surface.
Suddenly, there was a spark from a mechanism at the very center.
Ripples of dark red undulated as if the very essence of the chamber had been tainted by an extraordinary presence.
Instantly, the blood began to coalesce, causing the metallic scent to spread heavily.
