Bioluminescent crystals cast eerie shadows on the cave walls, illuminating the massive form of All For One looming above me. Tomura circles lazily nearby, his red eyes fixed on me with predatory interest. My heart pounds against my ribs as I realize I've gone too far to turn back now.
"My dear, sweet child," the ancient dragon rumbles, his voice sending vibrations through the water around us. "Have you brought what I've asked for?"
I swallow hard, forcing my fins to remain steady despite my terror. The moment of truth has arrived – the bargain will be sealed, and my life will never be the same again.
