The triumph over the Abyssal Phantoms brought a momentary sense of relief to Akira and his companions. However, they knew their journey was far from over. The Valley of Shadows still held secrets, and they needed to uncover them to prevent further threats. As they gathered their belongings and prepared to move on, an unexpected figure appeared from the darkness.
A girl with white hair and striking red eyes stood before them, her presence commanding attention. Her fangs gleamed in the dim light, and a sense of unease washed over the group. Akira's instincts told him that she was not someone to be taken lightly.
"Who are you?" Kael demanded, stepping forward with his daggers at the ready.
The girl smirked, her eyes glinting with a mischievous light. "My name is Selene," she said, her voice smooth and confident. "And I've come for the artifact of Sloth."
