The town of Brambelwood is in turmoil. Mayor Jenkins and Simon Blackwood are mobilizing the townsfolk, fortifying homes and preparing for the worst. Meanwhile, Elena, Charlotte, and Gray make their way to the old church, an ancient building with crumbling walls and overgrown paths.

Inside the church, the atmosphere is eerie and foreboding. Elena and Charlotte work to disable the traps set by the Shade's minions, while Gray leads them to a hidden chamber beneath the church. The artifact is encased in a protective barrier, pulsating with an ominous glow.

Gray explains that the barrier can only be deactivated using a specific incantation. As Elena and Charlotte prepare to breach the barrier, they're attacked by shadowy figures conjured by the Shade. The fight is fierce, but Elena's bravery and Charlotte's quick thinking help them overcome the threat.

Once the barrier is down, Elena reaches for the artifact. Its dark energy is palpable, and Gray's earlier warnings about its power become clear. As Elena and Charlotte prepare to leave, Gray decides to stay behind, ensuring the chamber's security until they return.
