The Legacy of Darkness

Chapter 9: The Legacy of Darkness

Ryder stood alone , his senses on high alert as he tried to decipher the mysterious voice that seemed to emanate from the shadows. Despite the absence of any visible threat, a sense of unease settled over him as the voice spoke of a legacy that lingered even after the defeat of the darkness.

Ryder spun around, but there was no one there. The voice seemed to come from all around him, echoing off the walls.

"Who are you?" he demanded, his hand on the hilt of his sword.

There was no answer, but the voice continued to whisper in his ear. "The darkness may be defeated, but its legacy lives on. And you, Ryder, are a part of that legacy."

Ryder felt a chill run down his spine. He had thought that defeating Emilia would bring an end to the darkness, but now he realized that it was far more insidious than that.

Determined to uncover the truth behind the legacy of darkness that haunted his family, Ryder pressed on, his every step echoing in the silent forest.
