Secrets Beneath the Shadows

The darkness poured into the library like a living thing, swirling around them with a malevolent intent. Sarah felt her heart race as she tightened her grip on the dagger, its blade shimmering faintly in the dim light. The air grew thick with tension, and she could hear the whispers of the ash echoing in her mind, taunting her, promising chaos.

“Do you think you can seal me away again?” it hissed, its voice a cacophony of whispers that sent shivers down Sarah’s spine. “I am eternal! I will rise again and again!”
