Damien was inside the imperial palace as Oswin Rong led him down a narrow passage and a huge hall came into sight.
There were slender braziers half encompassing each of the ten huge marble statues, lighting up the hall and allowing shadows to play and dance where light cannot reach. The illustration of the Rong Empire's insignia on the terraced ceiling danced in the flickering light while memorials and carved images looked down upon the floor made from Blue Spirit Stones!
'Wow...Blue Spirit Stones, I guess the Rong Empire must have been really prosperous centuries ago. No wonder the ethereal air in this hall seems more refreshing and vitalizing.'
