The first day of battle was a test of endurance. Shadow creatures of all forms attacked from all sides, but my agility allowed me to evade their swift, deadly strikes.
My pets and their skills were valuable, one of which was using the elemental ability of Pyro for illumination to sniff the dark cave and strike at enemies lurking in the shadows.
By the end of the first day, I was exhausted but still very much determined.
I found a small alcove where I could rest and replenish my strength and Arcane energy through the magic stones I snatched from the school.
There were no moments of true rest, however. The shadows moved constantly, the creatures form and shadowy nature blended well in the dark, and I had to stay alert at all times.
The second day was even more brutal. As I ventured deeper into the cavern, the enemies became more powerful and aggressive.
Shadow creatures, clad in dark armour and wielding weapon and skills that I had never seen before stood in my path.
