As Valerian leads me inside, a strange purple light swirls around my step, resounding around the room with an ethereal, purple aura that captures the breath in my lungs.
"This is the cleansing chamber, though it's more of a cave, really. It purifies demons, or anyone that has been to the Upper Realm. Ensures no tracking spells have been put on you, or anything of the sort, and wipes away any scent of the Upper Realm. The Upper Realm stresses out a lot of demons, it reminds them of bad times, and I know you don't think you have been tracked, but it's better we cleanse you, just to be safe."
Gawking, I stare wide eyed around the room- or cave, soaking in all the information like a cat basking in the sun. It is beautiful, it truly is. A strangely perfect encapsulation of the man who stands beside me- dark and brooding, strangely ominous and yet simultaneously filled with an enigmatic wonder, a curiosity for life and the wonders of the world.
