Kapitel 32: The motive behind their actions

Darius began to wake up, his mind gradually clearing as his senses started coming back to him. The darkness surrounding him felt like it was closing in, a weight on his chest that made it hard to breathe. A mix of panic and confusion welled up as he tried to figure out what had happned.

In the darkness, Darius spoke with a shaky voice, his words carrying the weight of his anxiety. "What... what's happening? Where are we? Why is it so dark? We were just fighting... the ants, right? I got hit by a silver hammer and then... I can't remember. This isn't right. We shouldn't be here. We need to get out, now!"

All of a sudden, Darius heard a voice commanding, "Illuminate," Suddenly, light flooded his previously dim surroundings, revealing the scene in front of him. As his eyes adjusted, he came to the realization that he wasn't alone.
