An army of towering trees stood sentinel in the Kelunwa Forest, their gnarled branches stretching like skeletal fingers towards a sky veiled in swirling, smoke-like mist. Shadows danced and flickered among the dense foliage, while the ethereal glow of unseen eyes pierced the darkness, hinting at creatures lurking just beyond sight. At the center of this silent, ominous stretch lay a cave, its entrance like the monstrous maw of a beast, from which a sinister red glow pulsed with a life of its own. Into this enigmatic forest trudged an unlikely trio. At the forefront, the King—a venerable figure, his weary, sunken eyes entrenched deep in wisdom and memory—leaned heavily on a staff meticulously carved with the stories of his ancestors. His tattered royal cloak, once rich purple, now muted and worn, trailed the forest floor, whispering tales of bygone battles and forgotten glories with every step. To his side walked Prince Chidi, resolute and unyielding, each stride exuding strength and purpose. A leather tunic clung to his powerful frame, complemented by a hunter’s cape that rustled softly with the weight of silent determination. In his grip, a ceremonial sword gleamed, its blade a testament to Chidi's courage and the legacy he was determined to uphold. Trailing behind was the Chief Priest, an enigmatic figure shrouded in sacred mystery. His gaunt form was draped in flowing robes of white and red, embellished with beads and cowrie shells that clicked softly with each movement. His face bore intricate sacred markings, obscured partially by layers of paint that seemed to shift with the shadows, as though they too were alive. Together, the trio advanced deeper into the heart of Kelunwa, drawn inexorably towards the cave's ominous glow, their fate intertwined with the ancient secrets hidden within this foreboding forest.
