Chapter 16
The Battle for the Soul
The heroes emerged from the cave, the crystal of light in hand, ready to face whatever dangers lay ahead. But as they stepped into the bright sunlight, they were met with a sight that made their blood run cold.
Before them stood an army of dark creatures, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. The air was thick with the scent of brimstone and decay, and the ground trembled beneath their feet.
"Well, well, well," a voice boomed from the shadows. "Look what we have here. The heroes of the world, armed with the crystal of light. How quaint."
The heroes drew their swords, their hearts pounding in unison. They knew that they were in for the fight of their lives.
"You are no match for us," the voice continued. "We are the legions of darkness, and we will stop at nothing to claim the crystal and rule the world."
