And then, with a soft whoosh, the void shimmered, revealing a smooth and faintly bubbling event horizon within the archway.
The shimmering surface stretched across the inner frame of the gateway like a taut sheet of translucent liquid. Peering into and past the event horizon was a magnificent spectacle. Threads of faint void-purple and silver wove together in constant motion, creating the impression of a tunnel underneath a cosmic bridge.
The destination in the other gateway's arch, standing at the opposite end of the workshop, gave a view of that side of the workshop that was clearly visible despite the distortion.
Stepping through would be more than a singular step—it would be a traversal through that tunnel, flowing naturally like a spirit ascension cultivator through the skies as though traveling across this spatial tunnel.
