AS Bernard was waiting for the huge gate to open, he suddenly got a notification message that made him surprise he couldn't help but look at the statues and then the one he had put the crest on.
While looking at the statues that was when he noticed something within the eyes of these faceless statues he realized they were shining a bit brightly, it was as if something had switched on the lights in their eyes, as he continued looking that was when realized something, these lights weren't just shining aimlessly but they seemed to be flashing at something.
When he saw this he tried to see, if he could discover where the lights were pointing towards, as he did he could see a very small hole in the corners of the room beside the huge gate that was placed at the wall, the first thought that came to Bernard's head was if he pressed the small hole at the corner of the huge gate would a secret passageway open or would the huge gate open, however looking as nothing had happened so far he wasn't sure, nevertheless, he still walked closer towards the small hole.
After getting close the first thing he did, was use his perception sense to detect if there was anything or even a magical/demon beast hiding around the place, before putting his hand he wondered if it was a trap, although he had used his perception sense to see if there was anything unusual and it came out negative.
Nevertheless, he didn't put his hand immediately, the last thing he would want was to put his hand inside the hole and then something dangerous to occur, he couldn't help but take in a deep breath and calmed himself before putting his finger inside the small hole.
After putting his finger inside the small hole, one minute later Bernard realize nothing had happened yet, at this moment he was thinking if it was a prank the builders had done to anyone who wanted to enter their storage place, just as he was thinking he suddenly heard a bone breaking noise rang beside his ears, and the next thing that happened was the ground opening as if a secret passageway, before Bernard could think about what was happening his legs sunken in and he fell straight into the secret passage that had opened below his feet.
Bernard couldn't help but gulped down the saliva in his mouth, as he kept falling extremely quickly that he had no idea where he was falling into at that speed, all he could see was complete darkness, he wondered what would happen if he fell from such height, considering how long he had been falling if it was the outside world then even though his legs were strong there was no way he wouldn't break his legs, what worse he couldn't stop himself from the free fall, not even perception could allow him to make sense of his surrounding.
Despite not knowing where he was going or how he was going to land, Bernard wasn't that worried at first he was worried but gradually as if his body was adapting to what was happening his heart that was quickly racing against his chest began to pound slowly, and before he knew it he had already reached the ending of the passageway.
However, compared to what he had been thinking or preciously worried about, when his legs were about to touch the ground as if a gravitational device had been turned on he suddenly began to float and fall towards the ground slowly, making him surprise.
After landing on the ground Bernard began to take note of his surrounding, as he did he realize it was just an empty room and there was nothing that could be seen, however, that wasn't all because right in front of him he could see a door the size of a human being.
However, he did not immediately walk into the human size door, rather he looked at the top where he had fallen from and couldn't help but be surprised judging from how long he lasted while falling Bernard guess it was probably from a six storey building, not only that he couldn't even see the hole he had fallen from.
As he was about to walk towards the entrance he suddenly remember the bone-cracking noise and then looked at his finger, when he did he realize his finger was completely fine, making him wonder where the bone-cracking noise had come from, nevertheless, he put the thought at the back of his mind, before extending his perception around the entrance, after all, it was better to be safe than sorry, especially in an unknown environment where he was sure that there could be magical/demon beasts lurking around.
When he was sure there was nothing inside, Bernard finally began to make his way to the door entrance, at this moment although the place which was like a hanger was completely dark and was void of light even from the three moons, his vision still allowed him to see in the dark very clear.
At the same time what he didn't know his eyes had turned slightly red in the dark room as if they were red rubies. With nothing left to worry about he quickly arrived before the entrance, of course, he didn't immediately enter, rather he popped his head out first just to make sure nothing was lurking around.
After entering the first thing he saw, was a completely scattered room, when he saw this he couldn't help but become slightly disappointed if he was to be honest, nearly everything in the room had been destroyed, and all he could see were piles upon piles of scraps metals littering the ground.
Even the tube containers in the room had been destroyed as well, not only was everything totally destroyed but there was no stargates, teleportation devices or even beast weapons and whatever that had managed to survive were as good as useless to anyone. However, Bernard didn't give up immediately he was sure among this bunch of scrap metals and rubbish something might still be usable.
Bernard scattered some of the scrap metals before him and eventually proceeded to walk around inside the room however as if luck was shining upon him, that was when he spotted a room stationed at the corner of the room.
