Lake of Illusions [1]: Hunt For the Key

Lake of Illusions.

One of the many, many explored locations in the Trian Ruins.

From all the possible options, this was the one most suitable for him.

Varian took a breath and looked at the lake in front of him.

It started at his feet and ended at the horizon. He had to turn around to see how wide it stretched.

The lake's blue water glittered like pearls under the sunlight.

Varian focused his sight on the lake and tried to find anything unusual.

None.

It was perfectly still, peaceful and beautiful.

But that was a mere illusion.

There were definitely awakeners on the lake and they were fighting fiercely.

Varian could feel the heat waves, violent winds, and space fluctuations even at the edge of the lake.

While he couldn't see them, he knew what they were fighting for.

Even with everyone else being invisible, the thing at the center wasn't blocked by the lake.
