The transport finally descended low enough for the seabed to become visible beneath them.
The central dome surrounding the Myrrhvale castle had its own entry point built directly into the lower structure, large enough for several transports to pass through at once. Their vessel slowed as it approached, slipped through the reinforced opening, and entered a sealed chamber on the other side.
Water drained away from the outer section while enormous mechanisms locked the entrance behind them. By the time the transport came to a full stop, they were sitting inside a dry chamber large enough to hold several vessels without any of them getting in the others' way.
Trafalgar looked through the window before standing. More than twenty soldiers were already waiting outside, spread across the chamber with weapons ready and enough discipline that none of them looked particularly relaxed despite there being no obvious danger.
A few watched the transport itself while the rest kept their attention on the entrances leading deeper into the castle.
Lyren was the first to step out.
By the time Trafalgar and Rhosyn followed, he was already waiting beside the platform.
