Snip Eight:
You need to do something,
anything. You stand up and close the
Book of Soul Arts. Maybe you can find something small to… eat? You wonder if that's even the right term.
After that time spent just reading, you feel much less dizzy. You can even walk around without stumbling now. Using your newly recovered abilities, you make your way over to the still-closed door in front of you. Upon reaching it, you push it open, revealing the room beyond.
It's the largest room you have seen so far, with a multitude of doorways lining the walls. Six, to be exact, including the one you just came from. All of them have had the doors removed except for the one you already passed through. The whole place is well-lit, with liberal amounts of torches placed everywhere, but there is no other sort of decoration.
On the same wall as the way back to that elevator-thing is a simple doorway with nothing to mark it as special. The room beyond it appears to be some kind of dining hall, though it is completely empty. The room is a bit small, and it doesn't seem to have any decorations besides the plain stone table and chairs in the center of it.
Directly to your left is a pair of doorways. One seems to lead to a smaller room, with a blockaded doorway on the other side, but with no other apparent significance. The other doorway leads to a very small room, almost closet-sized, with a single stone pedestal placed at the other end. A massive black stone tablet is covered in chains that hold it in place. The sheer amount of chains is absurd, making it near impossible to make out any details of the tablet.
On the wall across from you is a single archway. It leads to a completely empty room with another doorway on the other side of it. You can't tell what's in the next room, though. All you can see is one of the walls of the room. There's nothing apparently significant about it, but you feel your eyes being subtly drawn to it.
To your right is a room that doesn't seem to be lit by torchlight. Instead, it has characteristics more like the sun than fire. It doesn't flicker, it's less red, and it's brighter. Your vision into that room is blocked, however, by a massive pillar that seems to take up most of the room. It's covered in what appears to be random scrawlings. Some of the carvings seem to glow from within, with blue, red, and green light scattered around with no apparent pattern. The pillar feels like the massive doors from way before, comforting and empowering at the same time, but to a much lesser extent. You want to touch it.
You really want to touch it.
It's almost calling out to you…
Maybe you should…
