Running through the labyrinth, the heroes hurried towards the exit, with the thunderous sound of the beast relentlessly chasing them. With hearts pounding fiercely, they finally reached a door that opened before them, revealing the long-awaited medallion shining in the center of the room.
Without hesitation, they lunged forward, grabbing the medallion with determination before turning to face the rapidly approaching beast. With each step they took towards the exit, the roaring beast drew closer, its eyes gleaming with ferocity as it ran after them.
With adrenaline pumping through their veins, the heroes ran with all their might, dodging obstacles and leaping over traps as the beast pursued them without rest. Closer and closer to the exit, they could feel the beast's hot breath on their backs, urging them to run even faster.
Finally, with one last effort, they reached the temple's exit, emerging into the daylight just as the beast was about to catch them. With a furious roar, the beast came to a sudden halt at the temple's threshold, unable to follow them beyond its sacred bounds.
Breathing heavily, the heroes looked back, watching as the beast growled impotently from inside the temple. They had managed to escape its clutches and secure the medallion, but they knew their journey was far from over.
Back in Thornfel, the heroes delivered the medallion to the king, who received them with a mix of relief and gratitude. With a smile, the king invited them to share a meal and rest in the semibeast kingdom before their departure to Forjgris the next day.
Grateful for the hospitality, the heroes sat at the table and enjoyed a feast prepared by the inhabitants of Thornfel. As they savored the food, they shared stories and reflections on their adventures so far, recalling the obstacles they had overcome and the friendships they had forged along the way.
After dinner, the king led them to their accommodations, where they could rest and recharge for the next day. With the promise of a new challenge on the horizon, they immersed themselves in a restful sleep, mentally and physically preparing for the battle that awaited them in Forjgris.
At dawn, they woke up refreshed and ready to face whatever destiny had in store for them. With determination in their hearts and the medallion in their possession, they prepared to depart for Forjgris and confront the next chapter of their epic adventure.
