The figure in ancient armor steps closer to you, their eyes ablaze with a mix of determination and sorrow. You sense the weight of history between you both, a connection that transcends time itself. As you stand before this legendary being, the chamber trembles, and the waters of the pool start swirling violently, casting eerie shadows on the walls. Suddenly, a deafening roar echoes through the chamber as dark tendrils snake out from the pool, twisting and writhing as they form into a massive, grotesque serpent-like creature with obsidian scales glistening in the dim light. The figure raises their blade, ready to face this monstrosity alongside you.
