บท 140: Found them

As Natasha ventured deeper into the darkness of the underground chamber, her heart pounding with a mix of trepidation and determination, she couldn't shake the uncanny sense of déjà vu that enveloped her. It was as if her daydream had foreshadowed this moment, guiding her steps through the labyrinthine depths of the Carvinines' lair.

Drawing upon every ounce of stealth and cunning at her disposal, Natasha crept silently through the shadows, her eyes keenly scanning the cavernous expanse for any sign of movement. And then, like a revelation, she spotted them, dark, menacing shapes hanging from the walls like grotesque echoes of nightmares.

The Carvinines, dormant in their slumber, resembled nothing so much as bats suspended from the ceiling of a cavern, their forms twisted and contorted in eerie repose. Natasha's breath caught in her throat as she observed them, her senses alert to the slightest hint of danger.
