Transcendent

Ennnnggggg…

The huge metal door made a sound as if it had long become rusty.

It did not take that much effort before the door fully opened and for Nathan to see what's behind it.

What welcomed him was a huge hall, bigger than every room he passed through to get down here combined.

At the center of the hall, there's a small ember of fire floating in between pillars of stones.

Tug Dug!

'I want that!'

Once Nathan saw that, he suddenly felt his heart start beating fast as an urge to grab that fire and swallow it whole seemed to take over his body.

Unconsciously, he started walking, heading towards the center of the hall, where the ember is placed.

But the moment he stepped inside the hall, the metal door behind him closed without a warning.

BOOM!

The loud noise it caused shook his mind awake and Nathan was finally able to start thinking rationally again.

Turning his head behind him, Nathan looked at the door with strange eyes.
