Living Walls

As we move deeper into the Iron Fortress, Saito winces in pain with each step. The injuries he sustained in the last battle are taking their toll, but he soldiers on, determined to see our mission through to the end.

The fortress around us is alive with magic, the air thick with the illusionary forces that seem to shift and change with each breath we take. It's a constant battle to keep our wits about us, as every turn we take could lead us into a trap.

We make our way through a twisting hallway, its walls lined with glowing crystals that pulse with an eerie light. Suddenly, the ground drops out from beneath us, and we plummet into a pit filled with writhing tendrils of darkness.

Saito is quick to act, using his own body to shield us from the brunt of the impact. But as we try to climb out of the pit, the tendrils lash out, their grip tightening around our limbs.
