When I stepped off the final stair, I found myself in a circular chamber unlike the others. There were no pillars and no shadow was waiting for me down there.
The hall was perfectly smooth, white from floor to ceiling, with no visible seams or markings. At the very center stood a circular platform, slightly raised, its surface glowing faintly with steady white light.
I walked toward it without hesitation.
The moment I stepped within a few meters of the white circle, the air above it shifted and condensed into two distinct forms.
Two orbs formed at the center of the circle.
One orb glowed faint violet, its surface subtly warping the light around it. The space near it bent slightly, edges of the hall curving inward in a quiet distortion. Even without touching it, I could sense the familiar structure of the spatial law within it.
The other orb shone in soft silver.
