Ninefold
Isabella walks into the only building in the universe.
Air rushes in behind her through the portal as it seals, the strange keening of it against the Gate setting her teeth on edge. Nine skylights stare down at her from the faraway ceiling, empty of even the few stars she knows. She looks up, into the void -
And darkness falls as the portal snaps closed.
Isabella mouths something unladylike into the vacuum, then closes her eyes, focussing: with a moment's thought, her skin begins to phosphoresce. The pale light vanishes into the cavernous space, barely illuminating the distant walls - but Isabella's vampiric eyes catch the faintest of reflections. Careful of her step, she starts to make her way towards the closest wall.
