A bright light shone from a hovering stone platform at the centre of a vast hall, spreading an immense glow that enveloped the entire space. A large formation of runes, glyphs and various inscriptions, rotating swiftly above the platform, emitted an overwhelming pressure that filled the room.
Soon…
The rotating formation began to slow down, and the bright, milky light dimmed until it vanished, revealing Orion, Fifi, Nadia, and the stony guards.
The teleportation had lasted precisely five seconds, just as Nadia had said.
Orion curiously surveyed his surroundings. The hall was vast, supported by massive stone pillars. Two rows of soldiers were stationed on both sides of the floating teleportation platform and at the entrance of the large mixed wooden and metallic gates in the distance.
With a glance, Orion discerned they were currently underground.
