The entrance to the Labyrinth of Echoes loomed before them, a gaping maw carved into the face of a rugged cliff. A heavy mist clung to the stone walls, swirling around the group as they approached. Lucan led the way, his steps firm and confident, while Julia, Hima, Olive, and Rina followed closely behind.
The Labyrinth of Echoes was infamous for its treacherous layout and the powerful creatures that dwelled within, a place where sound and reality blended together, creating illusions that could ensnare even the most seasoned adventurers.
As they crossed the threshold, the labyrinth's first floor unfolded before them. The floor was a vast, dimly lit chamber, its walls lined with jagged, reflective crystals that amplified every sound. The ceiling was high and cavernous, the darkness above seeming to stretch endlessly into the void. The only light came from the faint glow of the crystals, casting eerie shadows across the uneven ground.
