As the second demon fled, Zephara and I turned our attention back to the task at hand. The third stone lay untouched within the cluster of jagged rocks. I retrieved it swiftly, adding it to our collection pouch. "Three down, seven to go," I said, my voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through me.
Zephara nodded, her expression resolute. "Let's keep moving. Time is of the essence."

As we moved, we encountered various obstacles—enchanted barriers, hidden traps, and other teams intent on securing their own stones.
