Chapter 19: THE DOKAS

The sect was built upon a rock formation that was shaped like a snake .

Its entrance was guarded by four large stone serpents that coiled protectively around the sect gate and the surrounding buildings. The entrance was also encircled by five large pillars that seemed to have been carved into living bodies.

The doors were open wide and the hallways seemed to be lit by torches. There were many rooms along the sides of the hallways where disciples practiced and studied in.

Rhys walked down the main staircase leading up to the entrance doors. Along the hallway stood tall red wooden chairs covered in green cloth.

There were various paintings hanging up on each wall depicting the founder's life story. Some of them depicted battles against creatures of darkness while others portrayed the founder himself.
