Chapter Twenty-Two: The Vanguard

"Everyone ready?"

"Yes, Captain!" They yelled in perfect unison, answering Lena instantly. They had learned to do so since the day in a new slime dungeon they were surveying when Garrick forgot his shield, again. He was talented, but forgetful when it came to his shield. An essential tool for a tank like him with skills tied to it. Garrick led the way with his custom-made shield, designed to absorb energy more effectively. Thalia followed, with Lyra scouting ahead and Jaylan ready to heal anyone in need. The tunnel was surprisingly spacious for a dungeon, with strange crystalline formations lighting their path. Small creatures scurried in the shadows, adding to the mysterious atmosphere.

Thalia paused to collect a sample of the crystals, while they turned a corner and the light brightened. Stepping out onto a large outcropping, they were met with a breathtaking sight. A massive cavern filled with colorful trees, a silver tree standing tall at the far end. Waterfalls cascaded into rivers that flowed into a lake within a blood-red forest. Above, a mesmerizing aurora danced through stalactites, creating a magical ambiance.

Suddenly, roars echoed through the cavern, followed by a blue screen appearing before them.

Please name your dungeon.

I hummed happily, knowing the perfect name.

Welcome to the Dungeon of the Silver Moon.

A stone plaque rose from the ground, inscribed with a poem detailing the different regions within the dungeon.

In the heart of a mountain, where the trees stand tall,

Lies the Verdant Throne, with creatures big and small.

The Verdant Haven, with leaves of blue and green,

A place where peace and harmony can be seen.

The Crimson Wilds, with a lake of red,

Where predators hunt and prey must be led.

Danger lurks, but beauty shines bright,

In this forest of colors, both dark and light.

The Silverwood Dominion, ruled by a king,

Where challenges await, and stories sing.

Beauty and danger, magic and might,

In this ancient world, where warriors fight.

In these challenger three, where nature's power reigns,

Adventure awaits, for those brave enough to claim.

Garrick read the words aloud, and Lena chuckled, ready to embark on their next adventure. "The Verdant Throne, eh? Let's find this king!" With determination in their hearts, they descended into the vibrant forest of the Verdant Haven.
