*World of Aktiraskah*

In the dark, snowy night, two figures could be seen walking in the forest, their footsteps echoing through the stillness. The air was thick with an eerie, unnatural silence, as if the very trees themselves were watching their every move. The cold was biting, and the darkness seemed to press in on them from all sides, making every breath feel like a struggle.

"Haah, it's so cold," whispered the traveler, shivering uncontrollably. "Did we really have to come here at this time?"

"No other choice, Mikrh," replied the other, teeth chattering with fear. "We have to get that relic before the others find out. There are already rumors spreading about the ruins, and it won't be long before someone from the Highlands comes."

"What's so special about that thing? You never told me," asked Mikrh, voice trembling.

"You'll know, my friend," replied Sobbath, eyes gleaming with an otherworldly intensity. "Let us reach there first."

As they continued on their journey, the forest seemed to and more oppressive, the trees looming over them like skeletal fingers. The snow crunched beneath their feet, and the only sound was the soft rustling of leaves and the distant howling of wolves. The travelers felt as though they were being led deeper into the heart of the forest, further and further from the safety of the world they knew.

And then, they stumbled upon a clearing, and in the center of it stood a massive, ancient tree, its branches twisted and gnarled with age. The tree seemed to pulse with a malevolent energy, as if it were alive and watching them with cold, calculating eyes.

"By the gods," whispered Mikrh, taking a step back in terror. "What is this place?"

Sobbath approached the tree, his hand reaching out to touch its trunk. "This is the heart of Ak'hur kal Ah" he whispered, his voice filled with awe and reverence. "Here lies the power to change the course of history."

As the travelers watched in horror, Sobbath's hand began to glow with an eerie, blue light. The light spread, enveloping the tree and the clearing around it.

"And now," Sobbath continued, his voice growing more sinister with every word, "we shall unleash its true power upon the world."

"Sobbath, w-what is h-happening to you?"Mikrh gulped.It was as if sobbath was possessed.

The travelers realized, too late, that they had stumbled into something much larger and more dangerous than they could have ever imagined.

?????????

In the depths of darkness, where nothing could be seen, a presence began to emerge. It was as if the very fabric of the darkness itself was alive, slowly taking shape within the void

"Finally, it has woken up," whispered a voice, echoing through the darkness. "The time has come.

"Zha'thikros, wake up," whispered the voice, its words growing more urgent with every passing second. "The time has come. We must act, we must deliver judgment on behalf of the one who created us."

And From within the light, a voice emerged, "I am".
