Apophis and his team finally arrived at the portal's exit.
The other side of the interdimensional portal was very particular! The whole sky was black, streaked here and there by magnificent red and purple comets which illuminated the stone ground below. The atmosphere was peculiar, both terrifying and fascinating.
Colonel Zareil seemed relieved when Apophis and his team finally joined him. Due to the strange effects of the portal on time and space, he'd waited almost five minutes after arriving on the other side himself. Zareil had been starting to doubt Apophis's word.
For his part, Apophis was extremely surprised by the new dimension's environment
Interdimensional portals of this sort didn't take a person from one part of the galaxy to another, but to an artificial dimension similar to a dungeon or raid.
