Emrys stood before the colossal gates of the palace. The massive doors were made of an unknown dark-gray material, etched with countless ancient symbols that shimmered faintly under the dense soul energy surrounding the area.
It was as if this palace was alive, it knew someone had come to its doorstep. A soft humming sound vibrated through the air as the seals on the gates were triggered. The ancient runes flickered slowly and started moving on the gate's surface magically.
Emrys slowly raised his hand and pressed his palm against the cold surface of the gate.

A wave of soul force surged forward like a tide, responding to his touch. The moving symbols on the gate glowed brightly for a moment before the rotation speed increased greatly. The gates trembled slightly, then slowly began to open with a deep rumble that echoed across the surrounding space.
As the doors parted, a soft light spilled out from within the palace, bathing Emrys in a warm, almost sacred glow.
