Bab 231: Focus (End of Volume 8)

Dorian took a deep breath, feeling the cool air soothe his lungs. His eyes were closed tight, shut to help him meditate as he focused on healing. Deep inside him, various Pills that he'd pulled from his Spatial Ring were currently releasing energy, slowly working their magic on him. 

Around him, an old, familiar sight spread out. 

The Ice Keep.

The Ice Keep was huge, stretching for miles underground. Dozens of sets of stairs led through twisting and winding corridors, giving it an almost maze-like appearance. The path Dorian had traveled was one from his memory, leading towards a specific place. 

When he'd entered the Keep, he'd found it mostly the same as before. There was a throne room near the entrance, with a throne that he could activate just like Arial did to turn on the Red Portal, down below.
