The glowing pathway stretched ahead, an ethereal bridge over an endless void. It shimmered like liquid moonlight, pulsing faintly with each step Daniel and Mira took. Their surroundings remained an infinite expanse of darkness, silent but unnervingly alive, as if the Abyss itself was holding its breath, waiting for their next move.
Each step felt heavier than the last, not from exhaustion but from the oppressive energy emanating from the path. It was as if the bridge was testing them, probing their resolve.
"I don't like this," Mira muttered, her voice low. She glanced over the edge, where the void seemed to shift and writhe, beckoning her to fall.
"Neither do I," Daniel replied, his gaze fixed on the path ahead. His fins twitched nervously, sensing the latent danger surrounding them. "But we don't have a choice. The only way out is forward."
