They had now reached the base of the tower, and Alyssa looked upwards to see its ancient stonework rising above far above them, the tall structure disappearing into the veil of fog that grew heavier with distance so that the highest pinnacle remained hidden behind a shifting curtain of mist.<br/><br/>Her gaze fell back down to the entrance of the ruin, no door, just an open stone portal through which the wind hissed like breath. Within the ominous stone archway all she could see was absolute darkness, and as she gazed into the dark shadows that strong desire for answers welled up inside her once again, calling for her to step through the entrance and enter within. It felt as though there was someone leaning close and whispering to her ear, imploring her to go in, describing the risks and enticing perils, but also the rewards, somehow she could sense that whatever was inside was incredibly important if she could just find it...<br/><br/>A shiver ran through her, and the presence was gone. She felt a little disorientated from its sudden disappearance, and strangely, lonely? This place was getting to her, she decided as she rolled her shoulders to banish the strange feeling of the dark enchantment. She had best be on her guard inside this place. She gripped her sword a little tighter.<br/><br/>She turned to Salla. "I'm getting a strange atmosphere from this place, and it looks pretty dark in there. You wouldn't have some sort of light, would you?". Alyssa smiled, trying to look more confident than she felt.
