The aftermath of their battle with the ancient entity left a lingering sense of unease among Elara and her companions. The temple's collapse had buried the immediate threat, but the darkness they had encountered had shaken them to their core. As they made their way back through the dense forest, the silence between them was heavy, each lost in their thoughts.
Elara's mind raced with a thousand questions. The entity they had faced was unlike any they had encountered before. It was ancient, powerful, and deeply rooted in the corrupted magic of the land. Destroying the altar had severed its connection to this world, but Elara couldn't shake the feeling that this was only the beginning of a greater challenge.
