Few people knew that the crystal mount of Asurmen had a vast and mysterious interior, let alone the ancient gatekeeper who had been guarding the great sacred place throughout human history. Those who were eligible to enter Asurmen were the popes of the goddess of creation. Through the gatekeeper, the popes could open or close the various chambers of Asurmen at will.
The gatekeeper opened a light door silently. When the door frame flickered a few times, it seemingly stabilized into a portal. On the other side was a crystal chamber filled with a faint halo. Pope Auguste VII nodded slightly to the gatekeeper and stepped into the gate.
