Darkness clung to the landscape as we approached the mouth of the cavern.
The entrance was massive, its gaping maw seeming to swallow all light and sound. But my attention was drawn to the two figures that lurked near its entrance.
Towering beasts, shadows in the night, their eyes glowing with an eerie red light. My Carnage Beasts.
As we neared the entrance, the Beasts moved, their bodies shifting with a grace that belied their size. Like shadows, they parted, bowing low as they moved to the side, clearing the way for our approach.

I halted at the entrance, turning to face my troops.
Each face was a canvas of exhaustion and fear, their bodies battered from the trek and the bloodshed.
They had held up well so far, but I knew better than to push them further. They had reached their limit, and it was time for me to take the reins.
