I kept close behind Lucas as we moved through the massive underground vault, the soft hum of mana-infused lights above us casting shifting glows on the golden floors.
It was not long before I realised that we were slowly and steadily strolling towards a particular section, making me raise an eyebrow at Lucas's choice.
It seemed that the guy had already decided what he wanted from the family treasure vault even before we got here.
The deeper we went into the Beasts section, the quieter it got—like even the air didn't want to breathe too loud.
It was a totally surreal experience for me. There were magical cages floating in mid-air, some the size of small apartments.
Each one held a creature rarer than the last, glowing foxes with seven tails, serpents made of shadow and light, a miniature hydra with vines instead of heads.
The entire place felt alive, making me wonder in awe.
