The Beliefs of an Unknown World
It took both of them to push open one of the solid stone double doors. They were not only very thick, but also large enough to fit the tallest person either of them could think of. The sound of the door slowly scraping across the hard floor echoed into the long hallway that stretched out on the other side of the doors.
They stumbled inside as the door easily swung inward the last bit. The first breath inside was almost enough to topple both of them - the air was hot. Very hot. They thought outside was bad, but it was like breathing in heat straight from a furnace. Zero reached for his throat as he began to cough uncontrollably. Kai shoved the part of his half cape that hung just beneath his neck, over his mouth.
Grimm, who never stepped inside, quickly took several steps back.
The two players quickly retreated into the warm embrace that awaited them outside.
"Why is the air so hot??" Zero stopped coughing just long enough to say.
