Mirage Palace

Leon made his way through the desert.

The mirage palace was a gateway to one of the greater Dimensions- Infinite Labyrinth <True Reflection>. It was one of the easier dimensions to enter as any mirage you see could be see as an access point. It was one of the most popular dimension because of it unique structure.

Leon ran through the desert looking for the right place. The gate of the mirage palace is something that randomly and Leon remembered the place from his past life. The method to find the gate...

Leon walked under the blazing sun with rays pouring onto him. As he looked in front he saw the distant dunes turn to pools of water. A mirage of a lake of water appeared.

Leon stopped and started drawing a rune in the air flatly as if he was writing on a table. With an odd hieroglyph at the center he drew a circle around it. He continued to add a lined six pointed star with another circle connecting the dots. Then filled the spaces with writing. Then four triangles were drawn equally apart. and in the space between them all four of them a circle partially in the main circle was drawn. More hieroglyphs were added until a whole detailed runic formation formed.

Leon moved his hand away and saw the formation float. He looked at the mirage and put his hand on the center of the formation. He then activated it and flicked his hand slightly. The formation slid in the air as of Leon had used immense strength to push it. It reached the space above the mirage and immediately stopped.

Above the mirage a wave of light spread bringing the mirage to life. The pools of water turned to actual water and from it a ripple spread. At the center the water started to part as transparent towers of glass rose from the water. Soon a whole palace made of glass was set above the water. As if it had no substance to it, the palace had a very illusionary look to it. Its architecture similar to that of ancient times. With three floors and size of 33,333 square feet.

Leon made his way there. He walked on the water spreading ripples with each step. Until he walked up a series of glass steps to stand in front of a large palace door with a large key hole.

"Now the hard part. Usually only Summoning Masters are able to form the key rune."

Leon then started drawing runes in front of the door again. This time it was a lot more complicated as he drew in three dimensions. With runes as the skeleton was drawn first. A double helix with lines connecting the two lines of runes was the core of the key. Then Leon drew a continuous line creating an outer shell. He slowly wrote each rune from memory using his soul energy. He was also using the slaughter aura to enhance his mind so he could remember all the runes and keep up with his hands.

Finally he formed a three dimensional virtual key made of soul energy. The key was 3 feet big as it floated in front of Leon.

The door resonated with the key and pulled the key into the keyhole. It then turned and cracked open teleporting Leon away. The palace then disintegrated with the water back into sand leaving no trace of what had happened behind.
