The room was vast, and Illya would have said it had been well-lit before the vault opened. The warm illumination was transformed into shadows by the pure brilliance that erupted forth.
They all would have been struck blind if not for the thick goggles screening their faces. Even so, Illya raised his hand to shield his eyes. The light lanced through his fingers in shafts of gold and green. He was enveloped, infused and penetrated by it. He felt thin and translucent like a pane of stained glass.
Thats when he heard the odd noise, growing quickly into unearthly music. He pressed the goggles more firmly to his face and closed his eyes. The world turned red.
