Julien gave me a questioning gaze.
'It's hard for me to see', was what my look conveyed.
Embarrassed by his little-to-no-good acting, he took a shallow breath and gave a…
Smile?!
Was he hurt?
Should I have commended him?
As I was thinking of consoling Julien a bit, the land below us shook a little.
And a low rumbling could be heard from the front.
The mountain trembled as the rocky wall in front of us opened in a flashy way.
I looked to spot someone inside, but what met my eyes was another huge door.
This one was made up of metal.
I had to give credit. The door indeed looked imposing.
With a slight nod of my head, Arthur led the path to the inside of the… mountain.
As we reached some ten feet from the door, another translucent barrier appeared before us.
Show-off.
Click.
With the sound of some kind of activation, the barrier flickered for a second and then disappeared.
We didn't move further.
