The Gathering Storm

A big, dark storm cloud was gathering over Castle Shadowfell. The wind was howling and the torches on the walls were flickering. It was a very scary sight.

Inside the castle, the bad guys were getting together. They were waiting for their leader, Lyra, to tell them what to do. Lyra was a very mean sorceress who wanted to take over the world.

When Lyra arrived, she told her followers that the time of darkness had come. She said that they would soon be in charge of everything.

The bad guys cheered and clapped for Lyra. They were very happy to be a part of her evil plan. The storm outside seemed to get even stronger, like it was trying to warn people of the bad things that were coming.

Lyra raised her hands, and the room fell silent. "The Night of Evil has arrived," she declared. "With my dark magic, we will conquer the land and rule with an iron fist."

The followers cheered again, their voices echoing off the stone walls. Lyra's eyes gleamed with excitement as she continued. "Our first target is the nearby village of Brindlemark. It will be a easy victory, and it will show the world our power."

As Lyra spoke, a figure watched from the shadows. It was a young woman with a scar above her left eyebrow and a look of determination in her eyes. She was Eira, a brave warrior who had been tracking Lyra's movements for months.

Eira knew that she had to act fast to stop Lyra's evil plans. She slipped out of the castle, her mind racing with ideas. She knew that she couldn't defeat Lyra alone, but she was determined to find a way.

The storm outside seemed to grow stronger, as if it sensed the darkness gathering within the castle walls. The wind howled and the lightning flashed, illuminating the dark landscape.

And so, the Night of Evil had begun, with Lyra's dark magic pitted against Eira's bravery. The fate of the land hung in the balance, as the two enemies prepared for battle.
