While walking down the flight of stairs, the space around them resonates like the ocean trapped inside a seashell. The stairs glow blue, radiating just enough light to help them distinguish the shapes and depth of the stairs.
Once in the most bottom level, Kyrie arrives at a dark atrium where the blue light on the floor reflects onto the walls. The blue reflection swims like fishes hovering towards the surface of water shimmering under the sun.
In the dark, Kyrie starts to look at the people walking near him, but because it is too dark, he can only distinguish the basic human figure of others. He wants to call Ian, but he hesitates since he doesn't want to show weakness.
[Ian should be next to me, right?]
He reaches out towards the hand of the person next to him. However, his hand gets wrapped around first. Kyrie smiles, and his mood turns better as he walks towards the light at the end of the atrium. The Fae Kingdom is now a few steps away.
