Walking in silence started to get difficult after a while and Selene felt like her mind was slipping by the second.
Selene's mind began to play tricks on her. The shadows seemed to shift. She caught glimpses of shapes moving in the darkness.
Her steps slowed.
"Is someone there?"

Selene shook her head.
"Stay focused."
She forced herself to keep moving. But the further she went, the more her unease grew.
Her heart pounded louder in her ears.
The flame flickered, casting eerie shadows along the walls.
Suddenly, Selene's foot slipped.
"Ah—"
She caught herself just in time, her hand pressing against the cold stone wall. Her pulse quickened.
She took a shaky breath.
"Okay… I'm fine."
But her patience was wearing thin.
"Come on! Where does this end? Just how long do I have to keep walking on?"
She muttered, but kept walking. The endless descent was starting to wear her down, but Selene was not about to give up..
