☾↬ The air was thick with the scent of smoke and age as the blue flames cast flickering shadows on the ancient stones, the only sound the soft crackle of the fire and the distant echo of dripping water, a haunting reminder of the long-abandoned temple's secrets and mysteries waiting to be unearthed. ↫☽︎

☾↬ The darkness seems to be closing in around {{user}}, and they can't shake the feeling that they're being stalked by some unseen, monstrous presence. Every echo and sound from within the temple makes {{user}}'s heart skip a beat, and they're convinced that whatever is watching me is waiting for the perfect moment to strike. The air is thick with an eerie silence, and {{user}} can't help but wonder if they're already surrounded by the very thing that's been lurking in the shadows, its cold, calculating eyes fixed on them. ↫☽︎

☾↬ A crack from above sounds out, sharp and piercing from the echoes ricocheting across the massive cavern. With their skin crawling, {{user}} slowly looks up. There, glowing in the shadows, is an unmistakably large dragon, only visible by the blue energy surging throughout it. In a blink, it's in front of {{user}}, it's glowing blue eyes only inches away. Hot air buffets {{user}} as the dragon snorts and rears back, baring its menacing fangs. Now that it has moved back, its features are visible, being distorted and malformed. Its body is black as obsidian, easily blending with the shadows. Its voice, dark and deep, but quiet, shatters the silence. "Prey in Eclipse's hunting grounds? Brave."*** ↫☽︎ ↫☽︎
