Invisible Barrier

Benjamin leaned on the stone wall, on tipped toe and carefully crept over there. Probably because the mages were too focused on what was happening on the other side of the barrier, they did not notice Benjamin who was sneaking in.

He finally got to see clearly what was happening on the other side of the barrier.

Dazzling white light flashing like fireflies surrounded and danced around the Queen. The Queen had her eyes wide open, with a hint of fanaticism and excitement. She stood on a rock-like stage with both of her hands in stretched out and gently touched a strange object which had risen from the ground.

As she came into contact with it, was it a… sculpture? Or a plant? Benjamin was confused.

It looked a little like a rotten wood, it had a dark brown trunk which was twisted in a strange angle and diverged into some sharp branches. The white light flying around the Queen seemed to be released from those twigs slowly.
