assembled, anticipation hanging heavy in the air. Eira stood before us, her expression inscrutable, but there was a glint in her eye that suggested today's trial would be unlike any before.

"Today," she began, her voice cutting through the silence, "you are tasked with retrieving an artifact from a heavily guarded chamber at the headquarters."

Elijah exchanged a glance with Isaiah, both of them nodding subtly.

Eira continued, "You will be going up against Commander Lynne herself. She will be overseeing the chamber's defenses and will act as the primary obstacle in your path."
