The map Viviane had drawn earlier still shimmered faintly on the table's surface, but the real marvel began when the water nymph herself stepped forward.
"Let's make this more comprehensible," Viviane said, her voice a serene melody of command. She raised her delicate hands, her fae magic manifesting in a glow of soft aqua and emerald light.
The map responded instantly, its lines and marks lifting from the surface as if carried on unseen currents. The two-dimensional layout unfurled into a breathtaking three-dimensional projection, so vivid, the structures and underground infrastructure of the Theotech Vault brought to life in striking detail.
The holographic projection floated above the table, a colossal labyrinth of interlocking chambers, towering spires, and sprawling conduits that seemed to spiral endlessly into the depths of the earth. The Vault itself resembled a fractal, with its design repeating on micro and macro scales, its symmetry both hypnotic and disorienting.
