Echoes of the Ruins
Reign and the team exchanged glances, the tension palpable. The monsters had them surrounded, but Beast's insight provided a glimmer of hope.
"Alright, it's worth a try," Reign said, taking a deep breath. "Laura, give me the amulet."
Laura hesitated for a moment, and Reign knew why.
"It'll be fine, don't worry about it."
"If the amulet is harmful, I'm sure I'll be able to push back and win against it, it won't be able to harm me."
Laura nodded her head and then handed over the glowing amulet to Reign. He studied it briefly before slipping it over his head. The moment the amulet settled against his chest, a strange sensation washed over him. The amulet's glow intensified, casting a brighter light around them.
The monsters halted their advance, their glowing eyes fixed on Reign. The air hummed with an eerie silence as if the entire ruin held its breath.
