The scribe had learned that the dungeon had appeared right on the border between the two warring nations, and this discovery had only added fuel to the fire of their hatred for one another. The two countries had multiple reasons for their animosity, which the scribe had meticulously documented. And now, they were unwilling to share the newfound source of wealth and power that the dungeon promised to bring.

The scribe had heard whispers that both nations were sending troops to the border, determined to claim the dungeon for themselves. He feared that this would only escalate the conflict and bring even more death and destruction to the land.

But the scribe also knew that there was a chance for peace. If the two nations could somehow come to an agreement and work together, they could unlock the secrets of the dungeon and share its riches. The scribe hoped that his chronicles would help to bridge the gap between the two nations and bring an end to the war.

As he wrote, the scribe couldn't help but wonder what lay inside the dungeon, waiting to be discovered. Was it truly alive, as the legends claimed? Would it bring the riches and power that it promised? The scribe had many questions, and he hoped that he would live long enough to see the answers.

The chapter ends with the scribe putting down his quill, looking out the window at the sound of marching soldiers and the distant smoke of the battlefield, wondering what the future held for the two nations and the dungeon that had appeared on the border between them.
