Adrian tightened his grip on the map, eyes scanning the marked path through the trees. "We have to find him before he reaches the river," he muttered, the desperation clear in his voice.
Beside him, Ava adjusted her backpack. "He knows we're coming. We'll have to be quick and silent."

"Bold words for someone who has yet to grasp the true extent of my power."As the team advanced, the stronghold revealed its perils.
