As Artemia and Gracier continued their journey across the Drexia Empire, their bond deepened with each battle they fought together. The whispers of their exploits spread far and wide, and they became a symbol of hope for the people in peril. Their next destination was a city called Silverhaven, nestled between rolling hills and shimmering rivers. But as they approached, they could see dark clouds swirling above, a clear sign of the chaos that awaited them.
The city was under siege, besieged by an army of grotesque monsters that poured from a nearby dungeon. The sounds of battle echoed through the streets, and the sight was grim. Buildings were aflame, and the cries of the citizens rang out in desperate pleas for help. Artemia felt a familiar rush of adrenaline course through her as they drew near, and she exchanged a knowing glance with Gracier.
