Before long, the young noble and his accompanying guard arrived before a huge stone door.
After the man motioned his guard to step back, he cautiously approached it and raised his hand to reach for the handle.
Just when he was about to knock, though, a majestic, rough voice echoed from the inside.
"Enter!", the owner of that voice said, and, as if in response, the door trembled before a small gap opened.
Seeing this and sensing the unfathomable power lurking inside, the young man took a deep breath.
After he calmed himself down, he cast a final glance at his guard and walked in.
The moment he did, the door behind him shut on its own. Unbeknownst to him, a small light flickered across his shadow, followed by a faint, less noticeable ripple.
Unfortunately, the young man didn't have the time to pay attention to either of these.
As he stepped into the room, its interior was revealed before him.
