Almoon

Aamon, a shadow-dancer with eyes like molten gold, crept through the whispering reeds. His mission: retrieve the Sunstone, a gem said to hold the power of a thousand suns, stolen from his tribe. Ahead, the Serpent King's fortress loomed, a jagged obsidian tooth against the bruised twilight sky. Aamon, armed only with his wits and a wickedly curved blade, scaled the treacherous walls, his movements as silent as the falling dust. Inside, guards patrolled, their armor gleaming under flickering torchlight. He evaded them, a phantom in the darkness, his senses honed to a razor's edge. Finally, he reached the Sunstone, pulsing with a fierce inner light. But the Serpent King awoke. A clash of steel, a whirlwind of motion, a desperate struggle under the watchful gaze of the stolen sun. Aamon, wounded but victorious, escaped with the Sunstone, leaving the Serpent King defeated and the tribe bathed in the restored light of their sacred gem.
