Passing Through The Arch

Like a beacon of light in the darkness, disciples from all over flooded towards the arch and the town behind it. John and the rest followed suit as well, and the four quickly approached the arch, which seemed to be brimming with power. 

The arch was forty feet tall and forty feet wide, and spanned the length of the town entrance. Dozens of disciples flooded through the arch every minute, each pausing for a short while for some reason before continuing onwards. 

"Let's go," John said as he stepped below the arch, as did the rest of the group.

Immediately, an incredibly strong and profound, yet surprisingly gentle energy invaded their bodies. It was clearly stemming from the arch above.

John allowed the energy to invade his body, as he was powerless to resist it. It was similar to the energy that had scanned him when he and the rest had entered the realm, only it scanned even more of his body.
