The massive circular chamber remained quiet.
Ancient runes across the stone floor glowed softly, forming a vast circular pattern at the center of the hall. The symbols intertwined like a complex ancient formation, their faint golden light illuminating the chamber with a mystical glow that pulsed slowly with hidden power.
Four glowing pathways stretched outward from the central circle, each connecting to one of the entrances surrounding the chamber. The pathways resembled rivers of light cutting through the ancient stone floor.
Aether stepped forward slowly.
The moment he crossed the threshold and entered the chamber, the glowing pathway behind him dimmed slightly before fading almost completely.
The ruins had acknowledged his arrival.
