Nikolai finally caught up to Selene after jogging down the stairs and reaching the main altar. It felt almost divine. From the moment he came closer, there was a feeling of pressure.
The weight wrapped around his body while pushing down against him the closer she came to the huge, undulating blue orb with a beautiful surface that looked like the ocean as it waxed and waned.
'What a beautiful sight!' He couldn't help but marvel at the cool sensation and fresh scent that came from the waves of magic.
"Oh? It's surprising that you are so amazed by the portal, Nikolai." Selene's voice sounded from beside his ear, turning her smiling face with lips upturned and narrowed eyes like a cat grinning at him with delight. "So, do you like this place?"
"It's quite beautiful, and the atmosphere is calming." Nikolai returned her smile with a childish grin before turning back to the portal because, under the surface, a strange image of various cityscapes and places appeared like magic.
