The Sacred Cavern

Looking at the old man stepping towards the vortex and vanishing within the swirling waters had Hao Ren stunned. Gelton looked like he'd kick the bucket any time soon, but Hao Ren never thought that old man still had nerves of steel, he didn't even hesitate when he stepped into the vortex.

He had thought to call the MDT to scan the vortex.... but that doesn't seem to be necessary now.

The mages, regardless if they belonged to the church, or were under Ophra's command was stunned by the old bishop's bravado. Even Vivian could not help but frown, "... Piety is a good thing, but the old bishop didn't need to do this... he could use another way to check what's at the bottom of the vortex..."

At the same time, a faint gold pillar of light shot up from the vortex and broke Vivian's speech. Ophra nodded as she saw the light. "That's the signal from Bishop Gelton, seems like it's safe down there."
