A monstrous entity.
With eyes that burned.

Ryan charged forward.
"Fighting won't work," August warned.
"We need a new plan."

"You'll never escape."
The Devourer spoke.
In a voice that shook the asylum.
"Emma, daughter of Ravenswood."
"I claim you."
_The Devourer's Demand_
The Devourer's voice echoed.
"Emma, surrender your soul."

Through hidden passages.
And secret doors.
The Devourer's roar echoed.
"I will consume you!"
Samantha's laughter followed.
"You'll never escape!"
_The Hidden Chamber_
August stopped at a hidden chamber.
Ancient symbols adorned the walls.

As she touched the symbols.
A surge of energy exploded.
Ravenswood's secrets unfolded.

_Visions of the Past_
Emma saw visions of Ravenswood's founders.
Their struggles and triumphs.
Their pact with The Devourer.
Emma's mind reeled.
"Why did they make this pact?" Emma asked.
August's expression turned grim.
"Desperation. Ambition. Power."
Ryan's eyes narrowed.
"What do you mean?"
August hesitated.
"Ravenswood's founders sought ultimate power.
They sacrificed their souls.
The Devourer granted their wish.
At a terrible cost."
_The Cost Revealed_
Emma's eyes widened.
"What cost?"
August's voice dropped.
"Their descendants' souls.
Forever bound to The Devourer."
Emma's heart sank.
Her connection to Ravenswood.
Her family's dark legacy.
Ryan's grip on her hand tightened.
"We'll break this curse," Ryan vowed.
But The Devourer's laughter echoed.
"You'll never escape."
_The Ancient Artifacts_
August revealed a hidden compartment.
Ancient relics lay within.
"Ravenswood's founders crafted these," August said.
"Each holds a piece of their soul."
Emma's eyes widened.
"These can break the curse?" Emma asked.
August nodded.
"But at great risk."
Ryan's grip on his gun tightened.
"What risk?" Ryan asked.
August hesitated.
"The artifacts' power comes with a price."
Emma's heart pounded.
"What price?" Emma asked.
August's voice dropped.
"Your memories."
Ryan's eyes narrowed.
"We'll do it," Ryan said.
But Emma hesitated.
"Are you sure?" Emma asked.
Ryan's expression turned resolute.
"We have to try."
_The First Artifact_
August handed Emma a small crystal.
"This is the Memory Keeper," August said.
"Concentrate on your memories."
Emma closed her eyes.
Memories flooded her mind.
Happy moments with her family.
Laughter with Ryan.
Tears streamed down her face.
"I'm ready," Emma said.
August's eyes locked onto hers.
"Focus on the curse."
Emma's thoughts turned dark.
The Devourer's presence loomed.
The crystal glowed.
Energy surged through Emma
