Pyris strode down the long hallway, the weight of his thoughts pressing against him. He was ready for what lay ahead, but the presence of the Abyssal Labyrinth loomed over his every step like a shadow waiting to pounce. Alera, as expected, was already in the room waiting for him. Her power could be felt even through the walls, a dark, ominous aura that seemed to suck the light out of the room.
He chuckled quietly to himself. "How dramatic."
But the truth was, her power was no joke. Alera had grown stronger by the day, and her connection to the Shadow Nexus made her a force to be reckoned with. As Pyris approached the doors to the room, he could feel the tension rising in the air, as if the shadows themselves were holding their breath.
He entered with a smirk, his eyes locking on Alera, who was standing by the large table filled with maps and documents, her back to him.
