A Man Like None Other

Soon, a palace appeared in front of Jared. It was grand and majestic, exuding an overwhelming presence.

The light he had seen emanated from the palace.

Jared pushed open the doors of the hall and stepped inside. In the center of the hall, there stood a candlestick with a single candle burning atop it.

Despite being just one candle, its glow was bright enough for Jared to spot it from a distance. It even pierced through layers of walls, which was truly bizarre.

However, Jared appeared unperturbed by the oddity as he approached the candlelight.
