The brizzio, who had not commented on their journey, led them into a tunnel. This was connected to a crumbling path, surrounded by thick pillars that were lost in the heights of the vault.
The difference between the state of the pantheon in which they had been and the tunnel through which they were walking was radical, to the point that they seemed like two totally different buildings.
They could barely walk and several times they had to help each other to jump the cracks that traversed the tunnel.
Debris of various sizes blocked what appeared to be other entrances. The vines grew denser as they advanced, and the dim light and scent of the asternux increased.
At the end of the tunnel, there was a huge arched doorway. Passing through it, a wide room appeared before them.
In the center of the dome that rose tens of meters above their heads was a black sphere. The color was so opaque that even the light from the asternux was not reflected in its depths.
