The journey to the temple led the group deeper into the heart of the Dark Elves' territory. Their destination lay within Blackwood Forest, a place shrouded in legends and foreboding tales, even among the dark elves themselves. As they moved through the dense underbrush, the forest seemed to close in around them, casting long shadows across their path.
The air grew cooler and more oppressive as they traveled, the canopy overhead weaving a tapestry of leaves so thick that only slivers of light penetrated through. The forest was alive with the sounds of nocturnal creatures, their calls echoing hauntingly through the trees. Jace kept his senses sharp, aware that any moment could bring danger from the shadows.
