Here you are

Deep within an abandoned mine, a shadow guard lay in a makeshift bed. She had been sent to investigate the unnatural magic surges affecting plants and animals.

For days, she searched in vain, learning only that the surges occurred at midnight.

Like every other day she had been here, she laid to rest, hoping to continue her search for the source.

But tonight was bound to be different. As night fell, the ground trembled violently as if the earth itself wanted to split open.

Shockwaves rippled through the Palaverda kingdom, though most dismissed it as a minor quake.

Within the mine, the guard ran as cracks spread beneath her feet, rocks and debris crashing around her.

A loud bang echoed as the mine collapsed. Desperate, she teleported outside, only to collapse from magic exhaustion. She turned, her face pale, watching the mine implode into a swirling black hole.
