Tenebris

Part 4 Of the Magical Gem Series - Tenebris om the Molten Ruins, a Vortex of Pure Darkness emerges from the Ground, transferring you to a new world - The Shadow Realm The Shadow Realm stills as you move forward. Darkness folds inward, shadows stretching and rearranging without sound. Distance loses meaning. Depth hesitates. A presence shifts. A form begins to take shape—not fully, not consistently. Layers of shadow overlap, forming a silhouette that never settles. It watches without eyes, aware without movement. Tenebris observes intent rather than position. Detached shadows drift slowly, mirroring motions you have not yet made. The air feels thinner, as if certainty itself is being reduced. Pressure builds, not on the body, but on perception. It does not speak. It does not need to. The realm bends subtly around you. Your next step feels anticipated. Goal: Escape (with or without Shadow Gem)
