Chapter 162: Descent into Darkness

The air was thick with tension, the weight of the Library of Shadows pressing down on the group as if the very walls knew what was about to come. Emily stood at the front, her eyes narrowed, a determined yet wary look crossing her face. The revelation from the hooded man still echoed in her mind. They had to face their own darkness, their inner demons, to defeat the shadows. There was no running from this challenge.

She could feel the uncertainty radiating from the others, but time was short, and the only way forward was to confront whatever awaited them. She squared her shoulders and stepped forward, leading the group further into the library's depths.
