The Aveni’s threshold

The team darted their gaze to where the voice had come from, their eyes scanning the shadows for signs of movement. At first they saw nothing, but as they stood there, frozen in a mix of fascination and trepidation, the figures slowly materialized from the shadows. Their movement was eerily graceful, like the gentle lapping of waves on a moonlit beach. The air seemed to ripple and distort around them, as if reality itself was bending to accommodate their presence.

At first, it seemed like they were wearing flowing black robes, but as they drew closer, it became clear that their bodies were actually covered in intricate, swirling patterns that shifted and shimmered like the surface of water. Their skin was a deep, iridescent blue and seemed to absorb the light around them, giving them an otherworldly glow.
