Follow her, Celine.
Protect her at the slightest danger.
Celine nodded and climbed after her toward the site, which looked nothing like the previous Altars.
The clock was frozen, covered in ancient numbers and spheres indicating the lunar phases.
Moss and vines had overtaken it.

No light filtered through from the moon, and just as that horrible lullaby said, when the Goddess did not illuminate the sky, the spectersthose creatures lurking in the darkest cornerscout to hunt. Running toward the chimes, we spotted an old bridge in the distance.
But before we could cross it, a specter blocked my path.
Itrembled with fear as more of them emerged from the shadows of the forest, surrounding us.
We were trappedfive of them against us.
If !couldnt handle one, it was clear that certain death awaited us under the claws of the Goddesss sworn enemies. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
