With a final powerful thrust, you managed to overpower the black panther, your cutlass finding its mark. The beast let out a fierce growl before collapsing at your feet, defeated. As the tension eased, you realized the danger you narrowly escaped by emerging victorious from this deadly encounter. Feeling the adrenaline still coursing through your veins, you looked around and saw a glint of metal in the undergrowth nearby. Curious, you approached cautiously, ready for any new threat lurking in the shadows. You bend down and pick up the gleaming object - it's a tarnished locket dangling from a silver chain. Intrigued, you open it and see an old portrait of a woman with hauntingly familiar eyes.
