CHAPTER 13: SHADOWS IN THE SANCTUARY
SHADOWS IN THE SANCTUARY
The decision to gather intel before your journey is unanimous. Under the cover of night, you and Ace slip into the darkness, leaving the comfort of Woodlands behind. The forest is eerily silent, with only the occasional rustle of leaves to accompany your stealthy advance. As you approach the outskirts of the City of the Sun, the terrain shifts from dense trees to sparse shrubs and sand, the air growing drier with each step.
The city's perimeter is heavily guarded, religious zealots patrolling with torches that flicker ominously in the distance. You and Ace crouch behind a crumbling wall, observing their movements. Their chants float through the air, a haunting melody that speaks of devotion and madness in equal measure.
Ace taps your shoulder and points towards a particularly flamboyant cultist, his robes more ornate than the others. He stands atop a makeshift platform, addressing a group of entranced followers. "Tonight, the prophecy unfolds," he declares, his voice rising above the desert wind. "The Chosen One shall meet his fate!"
A chill runs down your spine, but there's no turning back now. The Cultists' intentions must be uncovered if you're to survive the trials ahead. As the chanting swells, you know it's time to act.
