Chapter 195: 195 - Winter

The matriarch of the Silvermoons led Ryan through the various corridors of the palace. Passing through dozens of rooms, she activated different magic circles along the way. In each room they passed, the matriarch made a different move, and each time, a strange sound of keys echoed through the corridors. 

'A lock?' Ryan thought, as he followed Kyouko without saying a word.

<'A magic circle lock? This is starting to get interesting.

- I hope this ritual doesn't involve blood, that sight made me a bit -

<Uncomfortable?

- More like traumatized -

'I didn't mean to make you two look so bad around here, I apologize'

Before Ryan could give a better answer, the matriarch caught his attention with an order "Go through the door quickly, the portal won't be open for long" said Kyouko, in a firm voice he had never heard before.
