In the basement of Herram Prison, several trainee guards were slowly walking along a dimly lit corridor that led to the warden's office.
After leaving the teleportation hall, they crossed a suspension bridge, below which they could see the prison cells and the watchful guards.
From time to time, other guards wearing similar uniforms would pass them in the opposite direction. These guards seemed more serious, walking quickly with focused and tired eyes. They might nod in acknowledgment as they passed by the trainees, but quickly return to their tasks.
Among them were guards who wore worried and stressed expressions, seemingly busy with some thorny problem.
After crossing several suspension bridges, Hyperion and the Great Love Poet returned to an indoor space. There were tall bookshelves on both sides, made of dark oak, filled with hefty legal books and historical documents.
