Yellow light shone across the hallway from its eyes. The light fell on a set of double doors with an elaborate carving of a snake upon it.Vlad walked back from the double doors.  “Locked.  They won’t budge.”“That’s strange,” said Ilmarė.”What?”“You’re standing in the path of the light, but it goes right through you,” said Ilmarė. “Nothing seems to block its path to the doors.”Vlad looked down at his torso.  Then he stepped out of the way of the light.“The eyes,” said Beldin.  “They have lids. Lower them.”Vlad climbed up the side of the statue and pulled down on one of the statue’s eyelids.  Stone ground on stone as the lids slowly closed over the eyes and the light winked out.As the light from the serpent’s eyes was covered, the huge double doors creaked open to reveal a large chamber beyond. Kham peeked out around the hallway.  “Oh good, you got the door open.”“Where were you?” Ilmarė asked.“Nowhere,” said Kham.  He tucked something white and round into the folds of his jacket.  “Just securing some precious cargo.”</blockquote>
