CLXXVII. Winter is Coming

Two days later, at night.

On the edge of Aran Imperial City, at the departure station of a passenger train, platform.

The waiting area's architecture was suffused with rich religious elements. Layered, wave-like stone columns were engraved with the insignias of the Eternal and Time Dragon, circular bases, and intricate dragon-shaped lines, identical to those on the Aran Golden Dragon.

The colorful stained glass let in moonlight filtered through a layer of deep mystery, while giant red vertical banners hung on the walls, declaring grandeur.

Crossing the tracks, rib-like arches were constructed with ornate curves, sheltering the tracks like ribs, serving a decorative role, solemn and majestic.

As with all buildings related to the Eternal Sect, they seemed like massive containers, subjecting Seekers to a controlled atmosphere, as if they were invoking whispers from gods from a distant beyond.
