Depths Forest,

In the haunting depths of the Kelunwa Forest, the aged King trudges forward, his sunken eyes reflecting a life of burden and wisdom. His once vibrant royal cloak has faded to a muted purple, its edges frayed and worn, trailing behind him as he leans heavily on a staff intricately carved with the symbols of his ancestors. Beside him, Prince Chidi strides with purpose, his sharp jawline set with determination. Clad in a rugged leather tunic and a hunter’s cape that seem to merge with the forest itself, he grips a ceremonial sword that gleams faintly in the dim light. The Chief Priest accompanies them, his slender form draped in flowing robes of white and red that whisper as he moves, adorned with strings of beads and cowrie shells that chime with every step. His face is a canvas of sacred markings, only partially visible beneath the hood that shadows his features. The forest looms around them, ancient trees with skeletal branches reaching towards the obscured sky, swirling silver mist curling around their boughs. Shadows slither and morph through the dense undergrowth, revealing glimpses of glowing eyes from creatures hidden in the veil of darkness. At the heart of this foreboding scene, a cavern awaits, its entrance yawning like the maw of a monstrous beast. Dark and ominous, it breathes a faint red light that pulses rhythmically, casting an eerie glow upon the group as they stand poised at the threshold of its mystery.
