A few hours later, we were approximately fifty miles away, teleported to a distant island by Kailani. Raphael guided us through the deep woods and took us to what looked like an underground stronghold.

We slipped through a crack in a giant boulder, neatly concealed by climbing greenery. Despite the absolute darkness, I could see the chamber at the bottom, as well as the carved steps we used to descend.

“What is this place? It looks man-made,” Rose said, while Raphael led the way down.

“I think it belonged to the Draenir,” he said. “I found it by accident. We couldn’t detect it with any of our devices; otherwise, I would’ve remembered it from the new maps.”

Once we reached the chamber, he touched the wall, looking for something. We all heard the click, then the hum of overhead lights as they bathed the entire place in a pale white glimmer. Some of the neon tubes were defective, blinking as they struggled to stay on.

We were all in shock, as we discovered an underground cluster of chambers, all highly technological, clean, and untouched by time. There were all kinds of screens and control panels, built-in shelves with equipment, and unknown paraphernalia, but what really drew my attention was the weapons room. I could see no other use for objects so close in design to military-grade weapons of Earth. Sure, they seemed to have different mechanisms and engineering, but they all had the parts of a killing machine, with glowing blue lights on the side.

Dmitri had been carrying a temporarily headless Douma on his shoulder, the upper part of her body wrapped up in a piece of cloth as she regenerated. He put her down and stretched his arms out for a second as he took all of this in.

“These are powered with serium,” Dmitri concluded. “Just like the cave pods.”

Raphael chuckled. “Ah, so you’re the tech guy, the bright one,” he replied.

“What the hell is this place? Do you know what any of this does?” I asked, virtually in awe of everything I was seeing.

Raphael shrugged. “The Draenir had their weapons and gadgets stored. I imagine most didn’t make it down here during the plague, or we would’ve been shaking hands with them right about now. They died out and left all this behind.”

“Unbelievable.” Ben gasped as he lifted one of the weapons, which was mounted on the wall. He took his time to study its design and buttons, to figure it out. “These are high-powered,” he added. “The one thing we know for a fact is that serium stores a ton of energy in its relatively small mineral bodies. If my assertion is correct, this weapon here could do some serious damage.”

“I think that’s the ammunition chamber,” Hunter suggested, pointing at a side section.

“I don’t know how to take it apart,” Ben replied, shaking his head in disappointment. “I’ll need some time with this thing to understand what makes it tick.”

“I wonder what’s in these vials and glasses,” Vesta said, pointing at another shelf.
