The cavern echoed with a low, menacing rumble as the titan shifted its enormous form. Its crimson eyes, burning with rage, fixated on Maya and Kael, who stood like gnats trapped in a spider's web. The knowledge they gleaned from the mural offered a glimmer of hope, but the sheer power radiating from the entity threatened to extinguish it. A distraction was needed – a way to buy precious seconds while Maya completed the binding ritual etched into the remnants of the ancient altar. But who would be the one to face the titan's wrath head-on? Professor Thorne, her face etched with worry, surveyed the cavern. "Ethan's injured," she stated, her voice raspy.

Professor Thorne, her face etched with a mix of awe and horror, surveyed the scene. Towering shelves, carved from living wood, filled the vast chamber, each one crammed with ancient scrolls and weathered tomes. Glowing orbs,suspended from the cavernous ceiling, cast an ethereal light upon the scene, illuminating a chilling tableau.Scattered across the floor lay dozens of skeletal figures, their poses frozen in a silent scream.
