Fighting the Shadow

Reign turned to his team, his eyes serious. "Something's off. These creatures are... nervous."

The others looked around, realizing the same unease in the crystalline beasts. The monsters' uneasiness was a stark contrast to their previous, almost mechanical stillness.

Beast stepped closer, scanning the hall. "Maybe there's something else here, something even they fear."

Jin nodded, tightening his grip on his weapon. "We need to be cautious."

Reign approached the chest, his hand trembling slightly as he reached out. The moment his fingers touched the chest, a sharp, resonant sound echoed through the hall. The runes on the chest flared to life, their light growing brighter until it was almost blinding.
