As you stand alongside Thrasi, the air crackles with tension. Hlöthver's baleful presence grows stronger, causing shadows to writhe and twist around you both. Thrasi locks eyes with you, his gaze filled with determination and a flicker of concern for your well-being. With a nod, he gestures towards a looming forest in the distance where Hlöthver's malevolent influence seems to emanate from. The trees sway unnaturally as if reaching out to ensnare you. You feel a surge of unease deep within your core, but you know that confronting Hlöthver is the only way to break free from this cursed cycle. Together, you and Thrasi steel yourselves for the treacherous journey ahead.
