As the confrontation neared, an inner voice urged caution. Heeding Clothra's plea, you considered seeking an alternative route past the formidable guardian. Would cunning outwit might? Or would bravery be the key to overcoming this ancient creature? The decision lay before you like a diverging road in the shadowed realm. You swiftly recall your choice and decide to take Clothra's advice. Turning away from direct combat with Llwyth Hiraeth, you spot a narrow passage hidden behind a cascading veil of shadows. The air feels charged with anticipation as you guide Clothra towards this uncharted path, hoping it will lead you safely past the malevolent guardian. The shadows deepen around you as you navigate through the eerie passageway, the sound of whispers brushing against your senses like ghostly fingers. A faint glimmer at the end promises a way forward, but what awaits you beyond that shimmering light remains shrouded in mystery.
