Chapter 42: Portal Leading Elsewhere
"Another portal?" Noel was the first to mutter, his voice trembling as the large purple portal swirled ominously before the stone wall.
The appearance of the portal stirred a wave of unease throughout the group. Tension rose swiftly as they stared at the swirling vortex, uncertainty thickening the air.
"It's a trap!" someone shouted from the back.
"But it might be our only way out!" another voice responded with equal urgency.
Axel could hear the frantic breathing of those around him. They had been trapped in this cursed dungeon for two long days, with no food, no water, and barely any sleep. The sense of desperation was palpable, and now, the possibility of escape stood before them—wrapped in layers of danger and the unknown.
