The interior of the palace was even more magnificent than the exterior. The walls were made of pure ice, with frozen arches and columns rising towards the ceiling. The floor was a mosaic of shimmering tiles, depicting scenes from ancient myths and legends.
Eric could hardly believe his eyes as he gazed around the hall. He had never seen anything like it before, and he knew that he would remember this moment for the rest of his life.
But there was no time to marvel at the beauty of the palace. He could sense the presence of danger lurking in the shadows, and he knew that he had to be on his guard.
He drew his knuckles and moved cautiously through the halls, his senses heightened as he searched for any sign of danger. But everything was eerily quiet, and he began to wonder if he had been mistaken about the presence of creatures in the palace.
