In Their Own Story
The evening sun cast long shadows across the ruins of an old temple as Mira adjusted her cloak against the chill wind. She looked up at the towering stone pillars, her eyes scanning for any sign of movement. "Do you feel that?" she whispered to the traveler beside her. "The air... it's heavy with something ancient." Before a reply could be formed, a low rumble shook the ground, and dust fell from the ceiling like snow. Mira stepped forward, not in fear, but with a steady resolve. "Whatever is waking up here," she said softly, gripping her sword, "we aren't leaving until we know why."
