An air of ancient simplicity hit them as they entered the vault, which was shrouded in darkness and utterly silent, without a single sound.
After signaling Marvin and the others to lower their voices, Archbishop Brandon stepped through the gateway, raising his arm high above his head. His lips moved silently as he muttered two incantations. Abruptly, the Golden Ring on his middle finger lit up, casting a beam of golden light towards the darkness above.
The golden light hit a barrier that seemed like a wall, instantly spreading out in ripples of gold that shimmered like electricity. The vault lit up with a dim blue glow as Archbishop Brandon activated a Magic Array for illumination.
Embedded in the crevices of the walls, the blue Fluorescent Stones emitted light that refracted within the vault, illuminating the walls. The vault was not a traditional square layout but rather cylindrical like a well, stretching straight up into the sky.
