Hemera thought to herself. 'There's something dark about this place, but I must study it to learn more.'

Hemera's keen eyes swept across the abandoned town, and a sense of dread settled in her chest.

As they strolled through the once-bustling marketplace, she couldn't help but notice the remains of life that had withered away.

Stalls that once showcased all types of goods now stood covered in dust, the wares they once held long forgotten.
