(Within the Time Stilled World, Secure Storage Yard, Leo's POV)
Once the surgery was over and Leo had reported to Amanda that he was back home safe, he wasted no more time, as he called for Veyr and chose to meet him inside the secure storage yard, the Cult's most fortified treasure facility.
The chamber they entered was vast yet tightly controlled, its walls reinforced with layered enchantments and dense alloys, as faint runic patterns pulsed periodically across its surface, silently safeguarding everything stored within.
There were no guards present.
However, none were needed, as the chamber itself functioned as a fortress, designed to deny intrusion through absolute and unforgiving security measures that left no room for error.
At the center of the room, two small metal stools had been placed deliberately, simple in appearance yet purposeful in placement, as Leo took his seat upon one of it with steady composure.
