The Abyss held its breath, its ethereal glow intensifying. Relief washed over Alex, overpowering his exhaustion. Could his final destination be within reach? Could this treacherous descent be overcome?
But the Abyss had a different plan. Just as Alex approached the beckoning light, a colossal shadow loomed over him. A roar erupted, filled with an ancient fury. Alex turned, his eyes widening in disbelief.
Blocking his path was a monstrous wyvern, larger than any he had encountered before. Its scales shimmered with an otherworldly sheen, its wings casting an even deeper gloom. But it was the wyvern's eyes that chilled him to the bone. They burned with intelligence and malice, far beyond mindless rage.
This was no ordinary wyvern. It was a guardian, a gatekeeper crafted from the essence of the Abyss. Its roar echoed, declaring, "You shall pass no further."
Frustration surged within Alex. After all the struggle and pain, he wouldn't be denied now.
