Dark Shadow
Entering the cave, the oppressive darkness is palpable, like a thick, malevolent fog trying to suffocate me. "This can't be natural," I murmur, fighting back the nausea that threatens to overwhelm me.
The shadows seem to coalesce into a darker form, a sentient mass that watches me with malicious intent. "Is this it?" I ask L, pointing at the black shadow in the corner.
"Yes," she confirms, her voice grim. "That's the source of the disturbance."
The shadow stirs, as if aware of my presence, and begins to take a more defined shape. It's a creature of pure malice, its eyes gleaming with a sickly light that pierces the darkness.
"What do we do?" I ask, my hand shaking slightly as I grasp the handle of the dagger had on me for protection.
"You must destroy it," L replies, her voice steady. "It's a dark jinn essence, feeding on fear and despair. It's been growing stronger, and if it isn't stopped, it will wreak havoc on the human world."
