Alessia's pulse thrums in her ears as she stares at the silhouette of Zagreus, his sword a shimmering beacon amongst the shadows. She can see the fire in his eyes, fueling a strength that invigorates and galvanizes her spirit.
"We can't fight them all," Hades says, his voice low. "We need to find another way."
Zagreus nods, his eyes scanning the area for any sign of an escape route. Suddenly, he spots a small opening in the wall.
"Over here!" he yells, gesturing towards it.
They all rush towards the opening, with Zagreus and Gabriel leading. The demons are hot on their heels, claws clicking on the stone floor.
Alessia can feel their breath on her neck and shudders with fear. She can't let anything happen to her unborn child.
As they reach the opening, Zagreus turns and slashes his sword, creating a barrier between them and the demons. The wall holds a few precious moments, but the demons quickly break through.
