Gate

The four companions began their trek back toward the remnants of the once-great city. They followed the resonating symphony of monstrous roars that echoed like a cacophonous chorus from within the depths of the city's desolate expanse. The journey was a nostalgic repeat of previous encounters, but the stone creatures they had vanquished before now appeared with a new surge of aggression.

This time, these beings, previously land-bound, decided to reveal the full extent of their capabilities. They unfurled the wings crafted from stone on their backs, lifting off the ground and taking to the sky. Their attacks diversified, striking from high above, causing a new dimension of challenges for the team.

Thrax, a gladiator to the core, bellowed a roar filled with anticipatory excitement. "Bring them on!" he called out, a wild glint dancing in his eyes. He gleefully dispatched the creatures, mentally marking each takedown as a notch on his unseen scoreboard.
