Chapter 15: The Siege of the Forgotten Spire

Scene 1: The Entrance Hall

The group slipped through the hidden entrance into the Forgotten Spire, their breaths was shallow as they took in the surrounding breeze. The air inside was cold, a damp chill that seemed to seep into their bones. The walls were lined with ancient symbols, each one glowing faintly with an eerie, pulsing light.

Cassian led the way, his sword drawn and eyes alert. The entrance hall was large, its ceiling disappearing into shadows above. Torches flickered on the walls, casting long, dancing shadows across the stone floor.

“We need to find the main chamber,” Cassian whispered, his voice barely audible.

Lira nodded, her mark tingling with the proximity of powerful magic. “It is close. I can feel it.”

Kael moved to the front, her eyes checking the hall for any signs of traps or guards. “Stay close and be ready for anything.”
