The wind howled through the crumbling ruins, its mournful cry echoing off moss-covered stones as the party crept forward, blades whispering against scabbards. Shadows twisted unnaturally ahead—a low growl rippled the air, and glowing crimson eyes flickered to life in the darkness. The mage’s fingertips sparked with arcane energy, casting jagged light across ancient runes carved into the floor, symbols pulsing faintly as if answering some long-forgotten call. A guttural roar shattered the tension, and the beast lunged, claws scraping against rusted armor as the warrior’s shield shuddered under the impact. Arrows hissed through the stale air, thudding into leathery hide, while the rogue ducked behind a shattered pillar, dagger gleaming with venom. Somewhere deep in the labyrinth, a discordant chorus of screeches answered—the sound of hunger, of waking fury. Time was running out.

Greetings! I’d be happy to refine your content, but it seems the text you’d like rewritten isn’t included here. Could you share the specific material you want reworked? Rest assured, I’ll maintain cohesive paragraphs, avoid AI artifacts, and focus on sharpening narrative flow, dialogue, or worldbuilding details as needed. Just provide the excerpt, and I’ll adapt it with a natural, human-polished voice.
