Yara
The ruins stand before me, a mix of old stones and tangled vines. They feel like a link between the past and now, where Tema Andrea's legacy waits. The forest around us is thick and dark, with tall, twisted trees blocking out most of the sunlight. Their crooked branches form a roof of leaves, making the light look dim and green. Thick bushes and fallen leaves crunch under our feet, and the air smells of damp earth and moss. As I move closer to the ruins, I feel a mix of hope and seriousness. This is where we start our mission to break the curse.
Tianna walks beside me. “Do you think we’re close?” she asks.
“I hope so,” I reply, my heart heavy with the task ahead. “Eris, are we on the right path?”
Eris, studying a worn map, nods. “Yes. The forest should be near these ruins. This is where Tema Andrea’s magic was strongest.”
The sun barely reaches through the thick trees, making the old artifacts in the ruins look dim and spooky. Each piece seems to blend with the shadows, making the place feel even more mysterious and heavy.
Lirin breaks the silence. “These ruins feel strange.”
“They do,” I agree. “But we have to find what we’re looking for.”
Ciarinise examines a faded symbol on a wall covered in moss. “This looks like it’s connected to Tema Andrea’s curse. We’re getting closer.”
Eris leads us deeper into the forest. The thick plants press in on us, making it hard to see far ahead. The noise from the crunch of leaves to the snap of twigs seems louder in the stillness.
The trees and it's shadows stretch and shift as we walk making the forest feel as if it is alive
“Stay close,” Eris says. “We don’t know what’s ahead.”
The air grows thicker with tension. The ruins, overgrown and dark, seem to hold onto the secrets of the past. When we find a dilapidated altar covered in creeping vines, Tianna gasps. “Look at that!”
“This must be it,” Eris says with reverence. “We’ve found the site of the curse.”
I feel the weight of our mission. The past seems alive here, pressing in on us. Ciarinise steps forward, studying the altar. “We need to be careful. The curse’s energy might still be here.”
“We should get what we need and leave,” Lirin says, his voice urgent. “This place gives me the creeps.”
“Agreed,” Eris says. “Let’s gather what we need quickly.”
Yes, the text you provided is in the present tense. Here’s the revised version to ensure clarity and consistency:

We work quickly, each of us moving with purpose. I focus on the task, trying to ignore the feeling that the shadows are closing in around us. I carefully examine every piece we find, knowing that each discovery brings us closer to breaking the curse.
My hands work with practiced efficiency, picking through the debris and scanning the area for anything important. Despite the eerie atmosphere, our determination keeps us going. Every find feels like a step toward our goal, pushing us forward in our mission.
“Are we done?” Eris asks trying to stay calm.
“Almost,” Lirin replies. “Just a bit more.”
With everything we need collected, we head back through the forest. The shadows seem to follow us, but the air feels lighter as we leave.
“That was intense,” Tianna says, clearly relieved.
“Yeah,” I agree. “But we’ve got what we came for. Now we need to figure out how to use it.”
As we walk, I can’t shake the feeling that the shadows of the past are still with us. The ruins, the forest, and the curse all seem to be intertwined, waiting for us to transform them into something better.
Tianna walks beside me. “Do you think we’re close?” she asks.
“I hope so,” I reply, my heart heavy with the task ahead. “Eris, are we on the right path?”
Eris, studying a worn map, nods. “Yes. The forest should be near these ruins. This is where Tema Andrea’s magic was strongest.”
The sun shines through gaps in the crumbling walls, casting a soft light on old artifacts. Each piece tells part of the story we need to uncover—a story that could help us lift the curse that has haunted the family for generations.
Lirin breaks the silence. “These ruins feel strange.”
“They do,” I agree. “But we have to find what we’re looking for.”
Ciarinise examines a faded symbol on a wall. “This looks like it’s connected to Tema Andrea’s curse. We’re getting closer.”
Eris leads us deeper into the forest. Shadows grow longer, and every sound feels eerie.
“Stay close,” Eris says. “We don’t know what’s ahead.”
The air grows thick with tension. The ruins, overgrown and dark, seem to hold onto the secrets of the past. When we find a dilapidated altar covered in moss, Tianna gasps. “Look at that!”
“This must be it,” Eris says with reverence. “We’ve found the site of the curse.”

“We should get what we need and leave,” Lirin says, his voice urgent. “This place gives me the creeps.”
“Agreed,” Eris says. “Let’s gather what we need quickly.”
We work fast. I try to focus on our task despite the feeling of shadows closing in. Each item we find is a step closer to breaking the curse.
“Are we done?” I ask, trying to stay calm.
“Almost,” Eris replies. “Just a bit more.”
With everything we need collected, we head back through the forest. The shadows seem to follow us, but the air feels lighter as we leave.
