Before the dagger pierced through its heart. Before its life force began to fade.
I had scouted the battlefield, searching desperately for a way out of this precarious situation.
And, as the battle raged on, it soon dawned on me.
The surroundings.
Every single part of the nightmarish shattered dimension, was made in a way that ensured that stealthy beings and children of darkness could thrive in them. Every jagged rock, every broken structure seemed to whisper darkness, but amidst the chaos swirling within me, an idea began to form.
It slowly took shape within me.
My eyes lit up as I pieced it together.
Flick!
In that moment, it became a flicker of hope against the oppressive darkness that surrounded me.
Clench.
A way out of this precarious situation.

Claang! Claang!
Each clash of theirs sent terrifying undulations across the dark maze, the clangor of steel and blood rolling through the darkness.
Crack!
