The void around them felt like an endless chasm, an abyss where time and reality twisted into unrecognizable forms. Elara, Kirin, and Seraphina moved cautiously, their senses on high alert as they navigated the alien landscape. The air was thick and stifling, the oppressive darkness making every step forward feel like wading through treacle.
The ground beneath their feet was uneven and treacherous, shifting as if alive. Strange, luminescent fungi sprouted sporadically, casting eerie glows that only deepened the unsettling atmosphere. Shadows danced on the periphery of their vision, always just out of reach, fueling the feeling of being perpetually watched.
"This place is like a living nightmare," Seraphina murmured, her voice barely audible over the low, humming whispers that seemed to emanate from the very fabric of the void.
Elara nodded, her gaze fixed ahead. "We have to stay focused. We're looking for the Sanctum."
