I had ventured forth, guided by the words of a knight named Lucius, who seemed to share my concerns about the palace's mysteries. However, I couldn't help but wonder if I would truly uncover the secrets hidden within. Nonetheless, I continued to walk deeper into the chamber, my curiosity driving me forward.
The atmosphere grew more oppressive with each step, the air heavy with the weight of the unknown. The torches that lined the stone walls cast flickering shadows, creating an eerie dance of light and darkness that played tricks on my senses.
Suddenly, a female knight grasped my shoulder, causing me to halt my steps. Her gauntleted hand was cold against my skin, and I turned to face her, uncertain of her intentions.
"What is it? Is there something you wish to discuss?" I asked, slowing my pace.
