Shattered Prophecy Part 3
The underground city loomed before them, a vast network of crumbling stone structures, eerie blue-lit corridors, and shadowed alleyways where unseen figures skulked.

Shadows of Vengeance - Part 2
The wind howled through the crumbling stone walls of the ruins, carrying whispers of forgotten voices. Aric, Raelyn, and Verin stood at the edge of the ancient structure, their breath visible in the cold night air. Their fire had burned low, offering only faint warmth against the creeping chill. But warmth was the least of their concerns.

Shadows of Vengeance - Part 1
The moon hung low over the darkened forest, casting a pale, cold light on the desolate landscape. The air was thick with the scent of wet earth, the aftermath of a recent rainstorm. A thick mist began to creep in from the edges of the trees, wrapping its tendrils around the three travelers who moved steadily through the forest.
