The entire sea palace trembled, as if the entire sea was screaming in rage. The pillars holding up the hall cracked as the wave swept through them.
A few seconds later, the tremors slowed to a stop.
Lilith coughed as she rose to her feet.
"Are you okay?" Ren asked in concern.
"I'm fine." Lilith wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "All I need is to get to Shing."
"That has to be it." Thorn spoke, getting their attention.
He was pointing towards the gigantic double doors at the end of the hall, where Tam had been standing in front of when they'd first entered the hall.
The doors were unlike anything else they'd seen in the sea palace.
First of all, it was an actual door. It was not made of pressurized water like the walls, but of actual stone.
Each slab was twenty feet high, carved with delicate mosaic-like patterns that resembled veins of roots frozen in time.
"If Shing's not behind that door, I'll eat my shoe." Thorn said, his voice completely serious.
