Truly Unlimited (2)

To leave any floor within the Honing Fortress, a circular mark at its centre on the floor, with charged groves in it that responded to a variety of signals, needed to be occupied and activated. Replicus, Allora and Pherdanta stood on it, and Pherdanta uttered, "Third floor."

In a brilliant flash that temporarily transmuted their bodies, the trio was transported to the third floor, where they materialised in their original forms over a circular marking similar to the one on the floor they had just left.

As soon as they appeared, Replicus gave Pherdanta an order.

"Bring Kenno to me."

"As you wish," Pherdanta said before she zipped away.

A vast corridor with the same shiny, dark marble extended forth, along with several wide paths leading to different places around this floor. Numerous faces could be seen in the corridor as Replicus and Allora passed.
