With everything decided, we were finally ready to cross the portal. Before stepping through, I took one last look back. The soldiers around us watched with expressions much more respectful than before. Our display of strength had probably proven that we weren't as harmless as they had thought.
"Alright, let's go in"
With the command given, we began walking toward the portal. First, my hand went through, followed by the rest of my body. A strange sense of disconnection overwhelmed me; it was hard to describe precisely. My vision became completely blurred, and the next moment, I found myself in a completely different place.
Looking around, the first thing I noticed—something hard to miss—was that we were in some sort of underwater structure. We were in a corridor, and the walls, completely transparent, revealed the underwater world outside.
"Wow! This is so beautiful!"
