This was an extraordinary place, the so called- Palace of Stars. The original name was unknown, which was long lost to history. However, this place was still as magnificent as the day it was built, there was no sign of damage or even dust. The place looked like it was locked in time.
Another unique feature about this hall was that the time moved much slower here than in the world outside, Hence, this was a perfect place to rest, meditate and self reflect. Many had found enlightenment here, but it took a lot of effort and patience. Moreover, those who aren't ready can't even find their way here through the maze of corridors, but it was always worth a try. Those who weren't ready would always find themselves at the start, safe and sound.
Interestingly, no matter how many people entered together, they would always find themselves alone in this particular hall. This place was somewhat dimmed, but the eyes always adjusted quickly thanks to the glow emanating from the giant golden Armillary.
At the very center the golden Armillary slowly turned, emitting a soft melodious chime. Meanwhile, the constellations on the walls and the floor shimmered along. The whole scene was breathtaking, it was simply unforgettable. It's unknown who or when build this place and some of the constellation depicted were unknown, or still undiscovered. The room was filled with hidden mysteries, not noticeable at the first glance.
The hero felt strangely at home, it was a warm comforting feeling of safety and peace. Even though she was alone, she wasn't lonely, in fact she felt the opposite. She wondered if she would ever want to leave, but deep inside she knew she would when she was ready. There was still so much to do and see, but for now this was where she wanted to be.
The journey so far has been incredible and there is much more to come. However, it's important to take a pause and truly appreciate the current moment.
