Urgency

It was an extremely luxurious hall, decorated by similarly deluxe furniture. There was a long desk crafted from millennial wood found in an ancient catacomb, a floor carpet made from the hide of an Abyssal Polar Bear, and shiny oil lamps that burned from the fat refined from body oil of white-bellied shark folks.

The only thing that didn't go well with the exquisite, brightly-lit hall was its lack of habitants.

Thud, thud, thud…

Clear and loud footsteps were suddenly heard inside the desolate hall.

The chamber pillars had been illuminated by their lamps through the last century. Beside the first pillar, a pair of snow-white legs walking on red-striped brown high-heels suddenly showed up beneath the shadows.

The body of a beautiful lady wearing a flame-red dress soon came under the light.

"Ah, so it's you. What are you here for?" a woman sitting in front of the long desk asked.
