Through The Vinculum Gate | Chapter 2
The City Hall, a rather ornate-looking building with a pair of solid double-doors keeping you outside. A set of stone steps led up to the doors; at the top of them stood the man with black hair and the girl with white hair. The man, he tapped his foot lightly until his silent headcount noted that everyone had arrived.
“You’re late. When I say thirty minutes, I mean thirty minutes. Do not trifle with me.”
“C-Come on… They were far away, give them a break…”
“…Very well. I trust you have your bracelets, at least?”
His eyes darted to and fro, counting silently in his head. Satisfied, he nodded, stepping to the side.
“Good. Go on inside and offer your bracelet to the gatekeeper. The Vinculum Gate is ready.”
The girl reluctantly stepped to the other side of the door, her eyes darting from the man to you and back. As you climbed the stairs, she threw you a small wave.
So through the doors you went. As expected, you were back in that same odd room with the velvety doors. Hesitantly, you approached the gatekeeper at the back of the room.
“…Next, please. Where to? The Vinculum Gate? Let me take those…”
The figure looked down at the bracelet in your hand. Hesitantly, you held it up, setting it on one side of the window. Gradually, everyone followed suit, until all twenty orbs were given to the gatekeeper. Satisfied, he took them
“Yes, all received. Go on ahead.”
The gatekeeper motioned towards the door to your right. Slowly, everyone moved to the door, pushing it open. Inside, you found the same long corridor from last time. You had no choice but to walk.
At the end of the hall stood another door, like the one you just stepped through. On the other side of the door…
Of course. You were back here. It was time for another trial, after all.
