Chapter 128 Cave Of Whispers

• The *Sea Serpent* anchored in a small cove, its hull swaying gently in the shimmering waters of the Shifting Isles. The cave Lioran had mentioned loomed ahead, its entrance a jagged maw that exhaled an icy wind. Ariella felt a shiver crawl down her spine as she stared into the darkness, her healer’s instincts warning her of unseen dangers.
• “This place feels alive,” Mora murmured, clutching a glowing rune stone he’d been studying since Lioran joined them.
• Kael stepped forward, his sword at the ready. “Whatever’s in there, we face it together. Stay close, and don’t trust anything you see or hear.”
