Kurax chuckled a bit at the statement, then watches as Kluk and Ian dissappear into the glowing portal.

He holds his arm out, a waving gesture that says 'you first'.

As the two enter the portal, Ikari feels the sensation of being completely discorperated, as if his entire body is phasing from reality... actually not quite as disturbing as one would assume. Within seconds, they rematerialize stepping from an identical portal onto a cobbled courtyard.

Their new surroundings are quite the oppisite of the sunny Penda morning they'd stepped from. Now, rain is pouring in sheets from dark clouds that threaten the skies with their fury. lightning seems to steadily illuminate the surroundings in periodic flashes - but for the most part it's nearly total darkness, the storm having smothered the sun in this part of the world. The courtyard is modest, about the size of a good house - and is totally cobbled and enclosed. From over the walls, one could see other towers and buildings that neighbor this manor, though none quite as gorgeous (or powerful) as the great home before them. It stands at about 5 stories tall, very stout, and seems to scream with malice unbefitting it's own beauty. It's architecture appears completely otherworldly: some lost elven dream from an ethereal imagination, crystalized into this land with an emotional impact that left this building like a awesome scar into the realm. Staring at it, one could see both it's angelic impressiveness, and it's foul, dirty, and dark seething. Small spires made up the majority of the outside, the largest gap between these crystal pillars being no more than 10 feet across - and the spires dont' seem to have much of a pattern. Interlaced with golden rivets, it's now dark-stones combined with all of it to make it look like a crown of Black stone, Opals, and Gold atop a highly-spiked head of hair made from Crystal. The emotion pouring from it though... simply nerve-wracking.

Kluk has Ian by both arms. The Clurichaun, however, seems to be entranced by the building. "Oh God, oh God, oh God... I forgot how much I hate this thrice bedamned place..." He mutters to himself.

Kurax greets the place with a comfortable smile as rain pours onto him in the darkness. "Ahhhh... I love the sight of true rage. Aint' she a beaut, old timer?"
