Iris felt like she was walking into a bright room filled with blinding light, where the colorful glass that lined the walls diffused the light and scattered it into various colors on the tiled floor.
It was a beautiful hall, but there was no one there except for her. She was alone, but at the same time, she didn't feel she was alone, as if there was someone there to guide her.
But, guiding her where? She wasn't going anywhere…
Iris looked around her, but this hall was almost empty and there was nothing to look at, except for the tall podium in front of her.
Thus, she walked closer to it. She had this urge to reach that spot and was curious about the blinding light behind it.
Her legs guided her there, even without her realizing it.
Iris climbed a few steps, leading to the podium, before she saw it.
