Crowned in Black: A LitRPG Dragonrider Adventure (The Archemi Online Chronicles Book 6)

The portal seamlessly sucked me through into a small, low-ceilinged

room with two open doors. There was a stone wall separating them;

there were five torches mounted in a ring, their tips burning with a

strange, ghostly white flame. They cast enough light that I could see

into the doors a short way. One corridor went straight ahead. The

other advanced only about six feet before bending sharply around a

corner. Both corridors were made of obsidian: the glassy black stone

caught and bent the light, glinting with a weird, oily rainbow sheen.

“Oh boy.” I absentmindedly took one of the torches from the wall,

and held it out into each one of the doors as the others ported in

behind me. Suri’s eyebrows arched as she also took one of the

torches, and leaned in to look. “Any thoughts on what the mechanics

are for this? Looks like a maze.”

“Sure does.” Suri held the torch up, searching the walls and ceiling of

the antechamber. “If it is, probably just have to find our way through.”
