After concluding his part of the meeting, Sam quietly left the gathering and made his way behind the Academy Arena.
Ensuring that no one was around, he made a subtle gesture, causing a large rock to rotate and reveal a hidden staircase leading deep underground.
Without hesitation, Sam descended the stairs, arriving at a thick, imposing metal door.
It opened on its own, as if recognizing it had no right to stand in the way of its king.
He walked down the corridor for several minutes before entering a vast chamber.
The moment he stepped inside, the silence was broken as the lamps flickered to life, illuminating the room.
Shelves upon shelves lined the walls, filled with hundreds of journals and ancient scrolls.
His eyes scanned the rows before settling on one particular journal.
Summoning a chair from his storage ring, Sam sat down and began to read.
