The Temple of Mystery

The wind howled through the dense forest, carrying with it the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves. The moon hung low in the sky, its pale light casting long shadows over the gnarled trees and twisted undergrowth. Deep within this forgotten part of the Latvia Kingdom, hidden from the eyes of the world, stood an ancient temple. Its stone walls were cracked and overgrown with ivy, and its once-grand entrance was now a gaping maw of darkness. This was no ordinary temple—it was a place of power, a place where the veil between the mortal world and the realm of shadows was thin.

Caspian stood at the foot of the temple, his black cloak billowing in the wind. His piercing eyes, cold and calculating, scanned the structure before him. This was not his first visit, but each time he came here, a shiver ran down his spine. The temple was alive in a way he could not explain, as if the very stones whispered secrets to those who dared to listen.
