Whispers of the past 8

As dawn broke over the horizon, casting a golden glow across the landscape, Dea and her companions set out on the next leg of their journey. The visions from the pool lingered in their minds, a haunting reminder of the trials that lay ahead.

Their path led them deeper into the heart of the forest, where ancient trees loomed overhead like silent sentinels, their branches reaching towards the sky as if to touch the heavens. The air was thick with a sense of anticipation, as if the very earth itself awaited their arrival.

With each step, the weight of the task before them grew heavier, pressing down on their shoulders like a burden too heavy to bear. But they forged ahead, drawing strength from the bond that bound them together and the knowledge that their quest was far from over.
