Storm of Hearts, Part Twelve

The fortress loomed before Hazel, Sylver, Lianna, Enverna, and Mel as they stepped through the ominous gate.

The colossal ruins swallowed them whole, and the atmosphere shifted from the vast openness of the cavern to the confined grandeur of Kaelen.

The interior was a blend of eerie silence and the distant echoes of their own footsteps against the stone floor. The soft glow of enchanted crystals cast flickering shadows on the ancient walls, creating an otherworldly ambiance.

Hazel, ever the Scout, led the way with Lianna and the others following closely behind. Sylver, her magical prowess resonating, walked with an air of quiet authority. As they explored the fortress, the group couldn't help but express some awe.
