Chapter 9 : The Night Hag's Realm
Yana had just settled the group of travelers in for the night when she felt a strange sensation in the air. It was as if the very atmosphere around her was changing, growing colder and more oppressive by the second.

Yana tried to shrug off the feeling of unease that had settled over her, but she couldn't shake the sense that something was watching her from the darkness.
