The dungeon air grows thick and cloying, heavy with the scent of iron and death. Shadows stretch long across the chill stone, and there, broken amidst them, lies the weakest hunter. His leg is severed, his vision swimming. Around him, the statues stand inert once more, their stone eyes catching the faint, ghostly light. The healer is motionless; the veteran, fallen. A profound, mocking silence settles over the chamber, pressing down like a weight. But in the deepest dark of his fading mind, a spark of pure defiance catches and holds. This will not be his end.
