I was standing on a small floating island. The portal had faded, leaving behind only an empty frame overgrown with sharp purple crystals. Dozens of other floating islands hovered at the heart of what appeared to be...

A few strides were all it took to cross the island I was on. I gazed down into the gloom below before looking at the roof thousands of feet away; the curving walls, floor, and ceiling of this cavernous structure were made of enormous purple crystals. Similar growths dotted the many islands as well, some the size of small bushes, while others grew into huge, jagged boulders.

It was like standing at the heart of an enormous, glowing geode.

My eyes focused on a black spire that rose from an island in the center of the zone. Augmenting my vision with mana, I could just make out the carvings covering the entire three-story structure. It was also the only thing in the zone that contained no mana. “What is that?”
