A cold wind howls across the castle courtyard, stirring dust and loose gravel. Torchlight flickers against ancient stone, casting long shadows that dance with every step. The party halts at the grand entrance—Kris silent, Susie's claws flexing, Noelle's breath visible in the chill air. Before them, the final fountain pulses with an ominous glow. Then you step out from the darkness, blocking their path. Ralsei's voice cracks with urgency: "you, don't you know if too many dark fountains exist it'll cause the roaring!" Susie snarls, "Yeah, we aren't letting you destroy this world, loser." Noelle's plea trembles: "It would be nice if you just stopped, please." Kris just watches you, head tilted, waiting.
