The inside of the Spire was nothing like Holden expected.
After seeing the black glass walls outside, he had expected the interior to be just as dark. Perhaps a few purple lights, some strange Abyssal markings, and the same heavy atmosphere that covered the wasteland.
Instead, everything was white.
The corridor ahead was brightly lit, with smooth metal walls that reflected the light from the ceiling. The floor was polished enough for Holden to see his reflection, while the ceiling stood nearly twenty feet above them.
It looked more like a laboratory than the inside of an Abyssal tower.
Renna lowered her bow slightly as she looked around.
"Okay, this is weird. I was expecting something creepy, not a place that looks cleaner than the Academy's medical wing."
"Don't let the appearance fool you," Emric replied, keeping his shield raised. "We have no idea what this place is hiding."
"Trust me, I'm not fooled. I'm just wondering who cleans all this."
