As they journeyed through the countryside, Lyle and the others kept a low profile, avoiding any unnecessary contact with the locals. They moved swiftly and silently, sticking to the shadows and using their skills to remain undetected.
After several days of travel, they finally reached the next forbidden area on their journey. This area was known as the Valley of Shadows, a desolate and treacherous land shrouded in perpetual darkness.
The Valley of Shadows was a place where the very air seemed to conspire against intruders, with thick fog and eerie mist obscuring visibility. The terrain was rugged and unforgiving, with jagged rocks and steep cliffs posing a constant threat.
As they entered the Valley of Shadows, Lyle and the rest felt a sense of foreboding wash over them. The oppressive atmosphere weighed heavily on their spirits, but it also made them feel a bit comfortable.
