The Temple of the First Abyss rose from the seabed like a monolith, its towering spires carved with intricate runes that glowed faintly, pulsating in sync with the eerie hum that permeated the water. The oppressive weight of the Abyss seemed to concentrate around the structure, pressing against Daniel's body like a heavy shroud.
Mira hovered beside him, her expression tight with unease. "This place isn't just ancient. It's alive. I can feel it."
Daniel nodded, his fins twitching as he surveyed the temple. "It feels like it's watching us."
The system chimed, breaking the tense silence:
[Structure Identified: Temple of the First Abyss.]
[Warning: Anomalous energy levels detected. Prolonged exposure may destabilize core structure.]
"Of course," Daniel muttered. "Everything here is trying to destabilize me."
Mira gave him a wry glance. "If you're not careful, the Abyss will take more than just your stability."
