A Portal?.. [WM]

"Wait, ritual? What ritual?" Astrid asked ignoring all of Vivian's words except her last sentence. "Well, at least that tells us why all these plants are here anyway, annoying as they are." She noted how cramped Vivian was in her with her wings and looked back at her shaking the plant matter from them. Astrid always liked her wings. Not many people had wings in the city and Astrid found it attractive.

Not realizing that she was walking right into a large open space Astrid stopped abruptly as she walked into what could only be described as an ancient marvel. Before she could begin glazing over all the details Viv ran into the back of her causing her to fumble a little. Astrid felt her cheeks flush. She had felt Vivian's breasts on her back just then... "Hey, watch where you're going..." Astrid said sounding almost sheepish.

When she looked back to the room she could see magic that was somehow still active. Who knew how long it had been since the people who lived here were here last, and yet their devices still remained intact. There were magic consoles, runes, counters, vials, bottles, and a plethora of scientific utilities! The most noticeable was in the middle of the wall at the far end of the room. It glowed with a pulsing blue light. Astrid could only assume that it was a teleporter of some kind with what she knew.

Viv let out a soft squeak of surprise running into Astrid's back, a soft blush reaching her cheeks that only intensified after being called out. She likely should have worn a thicker top for this dungeon... Still, her embarrassment was brushed aside by her curiosity as she panned her flashlight about the room, a soft exhalation of awe escaping her lips.

"Yes... This ritual. If my studies are right, this portal leads to a lost city, on an island beyond the central ring. A lot about it has been lost, but..." Vivian began to grin in excitement, the expression filling her tone, "We're about to find it again."
