In their underground pursuit, Helena, Raphael, and Imogen finally found themselves in the dimly lit, subterranean labyrinth of Duke Kayden's mansion. A pall of suspense hung heavily in the air, and their whispers reverberated eerily in the confined space. Their quest to liberate Helena's imprisoned soldiers was a race against time, and every footstep they took was fraught with anticipation.
Raphael cautiously led the way, relying on his keen senses and an innate ability to detect any signs of danger. Imogen's magical aura remained dormant, its absence a stark reminder of the peril they faced within the enchanted walls of the mansion.
The passageways they traversed were cloaked in shadow, and cobwebs adorned the decaying corners of the ancient stone walls. As they ventured deeper into the heart of the underground maze, the soft echo of their footfalls was accompanied by the occasional drip of water from the unseen depths.
