Deep within the Whispering Woods, they discovered a hidden cavern, its entrance guarded by a fearsome griffin. A fierce battle ensued, Lysander's newfound skills tested to their limits. Anya, with her swift grace, distracted the griffin while Theron, using his agility and cunning, slipped past its defenses and weakened the beast. Finally, with a thunderous blow, Lysander delivered the final strike, felling the monstrous guardian.
Beyond the griffin's lair, they found the Serpent's sanctuary, a hidden temple carved into the heart of the mountain. As they ventured deeper, they encountered cultists, their eyes glowing with fanatical fervor. A brutal fight erupted, Lysander and his companions battling their way through the temple, their blades a whirlwind of deadly grace.
