"Very well," the guard spoke in a rather solemn, raspy tone that seemed to differ from the one he usually used. Stepping backward, both guards knelt towards the statue, their faces buried between their knees.
Arthur watched silently.
Suddenly, an emerald aura burst from the gemstone. A streak of swirling shot past Arthur, alerting him to the point where he was forced to hurriedly unsheathe Skofnung again. His eyes reflected the emerald light, but it wasn't headed towards him.
Click!
The streak of emerald light collided with a familiar button, but instead of an hourglass, there was a "phi" symbol engraved between the rectangle. The "phi" symbol glowed a darker shade of green, before fading.
Suddenly, Arthur felt an odd sensation.
He blinked, and when he opened his eyes, the scenery was vastly different.
Before his eyes was a translucent, blue screen.
[Welcome to Heaven's Spire, the tower of your dreams.]
