As I navigated the labyrinthine corridors of the Eclipse Cult's hideout, the echoes of my footsteps resonated through the dimly lit passageways. The adrenaline coursing through my veins kept me moving swiftly, my heart still racing from the daring theft of the ancient tome. But my purpose extended beyond the tome; I couldn't forget the prisoners I had set out to rescue.
As I pressed on, the distant voices I had heard grew louder and more distinct. The voices were conversing in hushed tones, and I recognized the tone of one voice, a voice I had heard during the secretive meeting at the Sect. It was the voice of an elder or patriarch from the Eclipse Cult, and it sent shivers down my spine.
This was a crucial moment. The voice I had heard earlier, the one that had beckoned me forward, must have been a ruse. The Eclipse Cult had somehow mimicked it to lure me into their trap. I had to confront this elder and get to the bottom of their motives.
