Third Door On The Right (The Calm Before The Storm - Part 3)

The man continued:
“One of those examples is turning lead into gold. Some Material wizards, known better as Alchemists, can do such thing. But enough of all this. You must be tired. Your room is upstairs.â€?

The man was right. He was very tired. He went upstairs and found a long hallway with two doors on the left and three doors on the right.
They were placed in a pattern that suggested that there would be place for one more door (and one more room) on the left side of the hallway.

Jeffery walked down the hallway, slowly. He came to the first door on the left. In the center of the doorway there was a pentagram bearing strange symbols in and around it, and just above it, a grey hand print.

Jeffery ran his index finger across it, and some of the hand print flaked off, falling to the floor. It was ash. He pulled back his hand quickly. He looked at the door behind him. It was the same. The next two doors were the same as well.

The last door, the third on the right, had no hand print. He opened the door.
