With a sense of urgency, we plunged into the depths of darkness. The realms we traversed were in their usual state of chaos, with swirling colors and shifting landscapes that threatened to disorient us. Niam joined us again and broke off from our group, determined to check on the realm of the gods despite the danger. We all knew the darkness was making its way towards the mortal realm, and every moment counted in our pursuit. As we pushed forward, the air grew colder and more oppressive, as if warning us of what was to come. But we pressed on, fueled by determination and a sense of duty to protect those in the mortal realm from the impending threat.
