Ronan walked through the empty and deep long corridor, with Elsa closely following behind, her steps as light as snowflakes.
A swirl of cold air formed an invisible ice river, running through the corridor from start to finish. Ronan moved "against the current" in the darkness, until a faint light appeared in his view, illuminating the end of the corridor.
The end of the corridor opened into an unusually vast hall, where the icy current calmed.
The faint light illuminating the hall shone directly from above them, falling straight onto the monumental cold stone throne at the center of the hall, resembling the Ice Thorn Throne Ronan had seen in the Ice Emperor's Inheritance Space.
The column of light was exceptionally clean, undisturbed by any floating dust.
It was as though an ancient barrier had frozen time around the throne and the surrounding circle.
Ronan stopped walking. Elsa's voice came from behind him, so gentle it seemed to fear disturbing anything here.
