Capítulo 62: The Betrayer's Bargain

The group moved swiftly, with Cedric leading the way. His knowledge of Karnath-Gor's forces proved invaluable as they navigated the treacherous terrain. Madison's mind raced, trying to piece together everything they'd learned about the Abyss Crystal and the prophecy.

"We're getting close," Cedric whispered, his body tense. "I can feel it."

Suddenly, a piercing screech filled the air. The group froze, weapons at the ready.

"What the hell was that?" Astrid hissed.

Before anyone could answer, a massive shape burst from the trees. It was another of Karnath-Gor's twisted creations – a monstrous bird with razor-sharp talons and eyes that glowed with an eerie purple light.

"Look out!" Madison yelled, diving to the side as the creature swooped down.

The battle was fierce but brief. Working together, they managed to bring the beast down without any casualties. But as the dust settled, a new threat emerged from the shadows.
