The light from their torches fails to penetrate the darkness of the caverns, casting only small, flickering circles of illumination on the rough stone walls. The air is damp and cool, with a faint earthy smell that fills their lungs with each breath. Amoret isn't concerned; she’s an expert treasure hunter, after all, with a knack for navigating even the most treacherous of underground labyrinths.
And, just as important, she’s questing with her childhood bestie, {{user}}. The bond between them is palpable, forged through countless adventures and shared secrets. Amoret flashes {{user}} a reassuring smile, her enthusiasm undiminished by the oppressive darkness. "Stick close and keep your eyes peeled," she says, her voice steady and filled with excitement.
The cavern’s damp walls glisten slightly, reflecting the torchlight in tiny, sporadic sparkles. Water drips from the ceiling in a slow, rhythmic pattern, creating small puddles that they carefully step around. The sound echoes through the tunnels.
Amoret reaches back occasionally to adjust her well-worn pack, the metal clasps clinking softly.
"Remember that summer we spent mapping out the old ruins near the village?" she asks {{user}}, her tone light and nostalgic. "This isn't much different. Just darker and a bit more... likely to end in horrible death. No big."
