I remember when we reached the top of the place, this pillar actually had windows. But...from the outside you couldn't see that, Master Black explained why. One it was constantly cloudy and the reflection of the clouds resembled the rock, two they were tinted meaning darkened on purpose so to hide what was inside.
These windows took shapes of the planets. I favored the symbol of Saturn for it was tinted in the colors of black, purple, and pitch dark blue all in mixture like a gem. Black said that was not he favored and it was Mars we liked for he said he saw the embracing colors of fire in the windows, but I saw nothing but the bleak outside world.
We reached the peak, inside it was like some simple room...but a peak of crystal of white quartz was in the center, a hole in the wall shining on it.
The floor was covered with countless designs of the moon, on the ceiling was the cycle of itself.
Black had his eyes on the crystal, "Once the moon shines on that point, it will reflect to a direction and that will be what you seek... "
I clutched the seeker in my hand and could see the beams of the moon start to shimmer through the black abyss clouds.
It touched the crystal and I gasped wondering where it would point. The crystal began to shimmer and the light danced all around it, then it gave a beam pointing at the north end of the room. it hit the full moon and a door of stone moved out of it's way. I ran to it to see a box in black wood and edged with gold, I careful picked it up and as I removed it, the beam of light faded and the door shut for who knows how long. I looked at Master Black with the box in my hand. He walked up to me and placed his finger on it and read the inscription.
The Storm of Night will be all you breathe once you open this
The Mist will be your power and your torture
It will always be your pleasure or you worst pain, this Black Mist
I looked at him, "Do you what it's babbling about?"
Black's silver eyes glinted, "Indeed...prepare yourself to move up a level in your training Mayonaka Taiyo..."
