Bryson stood before the entrance of the Cave of Shadows, his heart racing with anticipation. He had been warned about the dangers that lay within, but he was determined to retrieve the eagle.

The air inside the cave was damp and musty, filled with the scent of decay. Bryson covered his nose with his cloak and pressed on, his eyes adjusting to the dim light.
