Each stone was etched with strange symbols that pulsed faintly, like a heartbeat. The air here felt heavy, saturated with something powerful and foreboding.

His gaze fell on the center of the circle, where the earth cracked open into a deep abyss, like a wound in the world itself. Kaelen's heart pounded in his chest as he stepped closer, he can felt the weight of the void was pressing against him, threatening to pull him in.
