As they entered the chamber everything seemed dark, but the chamber was small so what little light spilled in from the glowing halls outside allowed them to see after their eyes adjusted. There was a door on the other side-- making this room more of a transitional space-- but when they opened it the other door behind them slammed shut.
No going back now.
This door entered back into daylight, and for a moment they thought they stepped back outside. Instead there were high walls all around them, but the inside walls were taller and there was no ceiling.
"I think just this hall is outside," Paul suggested.
"Do we wanna just climb the walls then?" Roger asked.
Link looked at his grappling hook, then back at the top of the wall. It rounded outwards too high up. It would be impossible to latch onto the edge at this angle. "We're just gonna have to find our way through."
Barry looked down either end of the hallway. "Looks like it goes the length of the building," he noticed. "But I count three doors. Two down the left and one on the right."
"We're not splitting up again," Paul told them. "That was a bad idea last time."
"So what's the plan?" Roger asked. "Go room to room knocking on every door? 'Hey Vaati you in there?'"
"Might as well," Link said, starting down the hall. "We'll work our way around until we find anything of interest."
Link opened the door down the hall on the right. Making sure to stay out of the way in case something came flying at him, he peered inside. All he saw was an empty room. But this room did have a ceiling, meaning Paul was right about just the hall being outside. What was strange was the grass that grew in the room, as if this castle not only had been risen from solid ground, but it also seemed outside and inside were inversed here. The hall seemed fine, but inside the actual palace seemed old, unkempt.
"Come on," Roger said, moving along.
They headed back the other way to check the two doors on the left. The second room was similar to the first; an empty room with grass growing out of part of the floor. Moss hung from the ceiling here though, and there were a few smashed pots on the ground. Then the last room on this side. Once again, empty.
They continued down that side of the hall, going around the corner of the building. There was another line of doors and the inner wall was still too high and too far out to reach. Door by door they checked each room, and every time they came up empty.
"What happened here?" Link muttered. "What is this?"
"It's like it's all dead," Roger agreed.
"More like nothing ever lived here in the first place," Barry corrected.
"Well yeah," Roger muttered. "That's what I meant."
"Hey hold up," Paul said, looking around the next corner. Everyone else had been looking at yet another empty room but they came to Paul when he motioned for them to follow. "Check out the floor."
