The Overseer tilted his head as he observed Vale...
Vale's Shadow Divinity was undeniable, so he couldn't really deny his entry to the realm.
The Overseer then extended his hand upturned.
"You have to pay Divine Crystals," the Overseer said. "The toll for passage."
Vale's expression remained impassive, but inwardly, he frowned.
Divine Crystals? He only had about a hundred of them in his possession. He was afraid that he hadn't brought enough.
Before he could respond, the Overseer's eyes flickered with something almost like amusement.
"You are unprepared."
A lesser being might have been offended at the tone, but Vale merely nodded his head.
"I was not aware of the requirement."
The Overseer then reached into the folds of his cloak and produced a single, empty Divine Crystal. It was a small, translucent gem like a piece of normal jewelry.
"Fill this…" the Overseer commanded. "Then you will understand the cost."
'Ohh… He thought I didn't have any.' Vale mused.
