The dense canopy of the Snakewood Forest loomed overhead, casting fragmented shadows on the party as they rode deeper into its heart. Leading the group was none other than the renowned Professor Arcanus, his dark cloak flowing behind him as his steed trotted with measured precision. Behind him rode Oliver, Hector, Violanda, and finally Aria and William, their mounts picking their way carefully over the uneven forest floor.
Compared to Oliver’s last venture into this perilous woodland alone, this expedition was markedly different. Back then, every step had been a nerve-wracking gamble as he evaded mutated serpents lurking in the shadows. Now, with the formidable Professor Arcanus leading the charge and the combined might of a seasoned team, the dangers seemed trivial.
