Round 44

As the bridge shuddered once more beneath their feet, Jeane's eyes locked onto Silra, her gaze a testament to the unyielding determination burning within. The rusted key pulsed in Silra's palm, its vibration now a fiery spark that seemed to sear the very air around them. The sound of rushing water grew louder, a deafening roar that threatened to consume their senses.

The bridge creaked ominously, its supports straining under the weight of their footsteps. Jeane stepped forward, her arcana crackling with an otherworldly energy, as if the very fabric of reality was being stretched to its limits. Her exhaustion threatened to overwhelm her, yet she pressed on, driven by a fierce resolve to uncover the secrets hidden within Gravehill's ancient walls.

Silra's eyes narrowed, her gaze piercing the darkness that seemed to press in from all sides. She felt the weight of her rogue instincts, a primal sense of unease that told her they were being manipulated, toyed with like pawns in a game of fate. The rusted key in her hand felt hot, its power coursing through her veins like liquid fire. Whatever lay beyond this bridge, Silra was resolute: she would not be intimidated, would not be swayed from their quest to rebuild the abandoned church and unleash the power of their twisted faith upon the world.
