Of the three glowing symbols displayed above the statue, only the staring owl remained intact. The other two, soaring eagle and swooping falcon, both had a line streaked through them, signaling that they had been conquered already.

As if waiting for them, the doors opened up on their own noisily, slamming against the walls on either side of the corridor that was revealed. Beyond it, about 100 meters away, was another set of doors — these ones far bigger and more grand. They were lined worn-down decoration, washed away by time. The faint designs that were still on it could only be faintly seen, made visible by the familiar white lanterns that seemed to be the theme of this Dungeon.
