"From the start, our intention was indeed to return the artifact to its rightful owner," Sir Alderic replied calmly. "Once our mission is complete, we will return the artifact to the Temple of Deira as a gesture of respect."
Sahara gazed at Alderic for a moment, assessing the sincerity of his words.
"Very well. Return to the resting quarters we prepared. Tomorrow, we shall journey together to the Ar'Vala cave and see if Lord Agramon's artifact can truly unlock the seal," Sahara said, standing up from her seat.
Sir Alderic nodded respectfully and left the room.
As night fell, the group prepared, reflecting on the gravity of the mission they would face the next day. The Ar'Vala cave was no ordinary cavern within it lay stores of orichalcum and rare ores, treasures of immense value. However, these treasures were protected by a giant ancient creature named Ard'Earthen.
