490 The Bond Of The Thorne Sisters

Under a sky so dark it seemed to swallow light, the Hellbringer Tower rose like a specter, its silhouette a stark, haunting presence against the void.

The air around it hummed with an otherworldly chill, as if the very atmosphere recoiled from its malevolent aura. 

In this eerie, forbidding landscape, a lone figure approached, her strides measured, her demeanor an embodiment of icy resolve.

Esther's entrance into the tower was as silent as a shadow slipping through the night.

The heavy door creaked open beneath her touch, yielding to her without protest, as if the tower itself recognized the gravity of her presence. 

Her steps echoed softly against the stone floor while her pale red eyes had a hint of fierce intensity that was usually never there.

But the scene that greeted her within the grand hall made her halt her steps, her eyes widening, unable to believe it was really true.
