Asriel's feet felt cold as he walked on the tile of the first floor of the council tower.
The first floor was an enormous lobby where many beings, many of them not human, sat in various chairs, waiting to talk to the council or some other important mage types who lived here. It was surprisingly modern and reminded him of Mettaton's hotel. He supposed all the rooms in the tower were likely lit with the same device that lit this room, which looked like a lightbulb, although it was probably magitech. It fit into slots in various torch-like devices that lined the room as well as holes in the ceiling. Oddly, there were no stairs or elevators here.
He saw a human man sitting at a wooden desk. He was wearing a red business suit and looked exceedingly normal compared to the rest of the citizens he'd seen.
"Oh, hey, kid. So, why'd you come here?" the secretary drawled with a light Southern accent.
"W-well, I'm a new arrival in this Omniverse place." Asriel quietly explained. "Some wizards told me that this city was a place in Camelot for magical beings to live and that there might be a master who will teach me magic here."
"So, you want to join our apprentice system? Well, come with me to the council, kid. They'll decide if you're worthy."
Someone sitting in the lobby sat up and yelled, "When can I see the council?"
"Shut up." the man in the red suit said. "You'll be able to talk to them soon."
Then, he took out a wand from his pocket and muttered something Asriel couldn't distinguish. The secretary turned to a wall and created a portal to the top floor where the Council meets to discuss various topics.
So that's how they get around in this tower. the child thought.
The man explained that the Council only gathers once per week to talk to people who wanted to see them.
"Go on." the secretary said with a kind tone and a smile. "Step through."
Asriel walked through the portal, which closed as soon as he arrived in the room.
The council's room had its walls, ceiling and floor made out of stones. It had 14 chairs where the councilmen (and women), as well as one other, could sit that surrounded a large wooden desk.
