A locked obstacle
The torch rested securely in its wall holder, its flickering light throwing eerie shadows across the room as Albert stepped toward the middle door. His hand brushed the handle, anticipation mounting, only to discover it was firmly locked. In that moment, he realized this journey was far from complete. Frustration simmered, but determination quickly took its place. As he pondered his next move, oblivious to what lay ahead, the oppressive silence of the tunnel prepared to shatter.

An unexpected shout
A sudden shout pierced the silence, its echo reverberating through the tunnel. “Who’s out there?!” The voice, deep and menacing, carried an unmistakable edge. Heavy footsteps pounded closer, each one vibrating through the ground and into their hidden chamber. Albert’s mind raced, his pulse quickening. The hunter had picked up their trail. Panic flickered in his chest, but he forced himself to push it aside. He couldn’t afford to falter now. He needed a plan—and quickly—as the sound of the relentless pursuit grew ever closer.
