The descent into the Rootvaults was not a fall—it was a surrender.
Vines coiled around Ashen like tendrils of a living god, guiding his body downward in a slow spiral through layers of ancestral earth. Light became sound. Sound became pressure. The deeper he went, the more the laws of normal dungeon design frayed.
And when the descent stopped, the roots unraveled, dropping him gently onto black stone.
A notification appeared—silent, cold, and ancient.
