Chapter 423: The frenzy

As she stepped close, a pair of enormous wooden doors that rose to almost twelve feet above her became visible. Luna reached out to touch its patterned surface with a frown. From its very bottom, the doors were intricately carved with strange patterns. 

But what caught her eye was something else. Two nine-pointed crystal stars were inlaid into either wooden surfaces, jutting out of the doors to stand out from the rest of the patterns on them. Even in the foggy air, the stars sparkled in a bright red shade, reflecting on her pale hands that were now placed on them. 

The stones were too cold to the touch, making her fingertips grow numb with every second she pressed against it. The goddess narrowed her eyes at the stones, the frown on her face deepening. She knew that these were no ordinary stones. And that's what made their existence in such a place quite worrying.
