Both Elder Feris and Velkar frowned deeply as they processed the news, the weight of the situation settling in. The tension in the air grew thick, silence hanging between them until Elder Vorn cleared his throat, his voice filled with a tense urgency.
"Elders," Vorn began, his tone grave, "my other corpse puppet has found another clue."
Feris and Velkar immediately turned their attention to Vorn, their expressions shifting from curiosity to apprehension. Feris's sharp gaze bore into Vorn, his voice edged with anticipation. "What clue?" he asked, his voice tight and controlled, though there was an unmistakable undercurrent of anxiety.
Vorn gestured toward the entrance of the chamber, and moments later, his corpse puppet shuffled in, its movements eerily precise.
