A scene

No one knows who built the Pyramid of the Atlantydes, and no one has ever found its door. The wizard Phaedra stood before its sheer flank, spoke the word and watched the stone part before her like a curtain: a rectangular opening, taller than a man, running straight back into the dark. She lifted her lamp and stepped inside. Ten feet in, the passage ended in a smooth wall of the same pale stone, just as solid as the outside. She stared at it. The pyramid, it seemed, was very, very thick.
