Kapitel 594: The Path of the Elements

To'Han, Lord's palace.

What was visible of the immense tree that had grown on To'Han's surface, was not the entirety of the Lord's Palace. A large part of it was, in fact, hidden under the planet's crust. Uncountable corridors and halls dug in between the tree's large roots, forming a vast dungeon only a few among the Lord's people could travel, or even remember.

Once used as the starting settlement of their community this maze had eventually fallen into disuse, until one day, nobody used it any longer-leaving its once bustling halls and corridors empty, cold, and dark. All but one.

In the deepest parts of the dungeon, one long abandoned even when elementals still occupied it, was a stone room. A cube of six walls from inside which came the dim light of a weak fire, and a constant chatter. The chatter appeared to be one-sided, as only one voice could be heard to complain, demand, beg, and insult the owner of a second voice that was never heard.
