The air thickens with the scent of ozone and ancient dust. Kalazan and Commander Korth emerge from the cramped obsidian tunnel into a vast, silent expanse of white stone.
Commander Korth
The heart of the mountain... it is colder than the surface.
A towering bridge of translucent glass stretches across a bottomless chasm, connecting their ledge to a distant, glowing spire that pulses like a dying star.
Kalazan
The psychic map in my mind points directly to the spire.
Commander Korth
The structure is sound, but look at the shadows, Kalazan. Something is moving along the bridge.
Shadows detach themselves from the crystalline architecture, slowly coalescing into hulking shapes that bar the path across the chasm.

Kalazan
The shadows are not mere darkness. They are sentient, hungry things.
Kalazan
Stand back, Korth.
Kalazan raises his staff, the air around the tip shivering with sudden, violet intensity.
Arcs of force crackle and solidify into jagged darts of pure energy, humming with lethal purpose.
With a sharp strike of his staff, the missiles launch, searing the air as they streak toward the hulking silhouettes.
Commander Korth
By the ancestors... the light alone is enough to scatter them.
The magic impacts with a series of thunderous, rhythmic crunches, shattering the coalesced shapes into harmless, drifting embers that dissipate into the abyss.
