The interior of the hidden chamber was far more sophisticated than its concealed entrance suggested. Smooth walls curved upward into a domed ceiling, all covered in intricate carvings that seemed to shift and flow in the cold blue light. The pulsing sound they'd heard from outside was louder here, coming from a complex array of crystal formations arranged around a central platform.
"This is incredible," Radji breathed, studying the symbols carved into the walls. "These aren't just decorative—they're functional diagrams. Dimensional theory mapped out in physical form."
Scholar Miren swam forward, examining the carvings with obvious fascination. "Remarkable craftsmanship. Whoever built this understood dimensional mechanics at a very advanced level."
Osa hung back near the entrance, his healing senses screaming warnings about the environment. The water itself felt corrupted here, tainted with energies that made his skin crawl. "This place feels wrong. Really wrong."
