The Cromwell Chronicles · Shadow of the Ancients Run 008

In the heart of the Whispering Woods a stone gate waits, its ancient runes etched deep into weather‑worn timber. Jeane, her crimson eyes blazing, steps forward to coax the hidden key from the darkness. Beside her, Halie holds the Silver Holy Symbol of the Goddess of Light, its gentle glow cutting through the dusk.

Merrin, wiry and quick‑witted, keeps a steady hand on her lockpicks, while Seraphine, with dark elegance, watches the shifting patterns that promise untold power. Together they begin to unravel the gate’s secrets, each member contributing their own brand of magic and muscle.
