章 56: New Hell

Shea and Nazmi stood outside the tall, golden gates that led to the Scholar's Court. It was a sight to behold, certainly… but it sent ice down the nymph's spine. Everything about the court was unsettlingly perfect; though the whole building wasn't in view, she could see from the outside that it was entirely symmetrical.
