Inside the castle, Elena navigated through dimly lit corridors and vast, empty chambers. The walls were adorned with grotesque murals depicting scenes of suffering and despair. The air was thick with a musty, oppressive stench that made her stomach churn.
At the heart of the castle, she found a grand chamber with an altar at its center. The altar was covered in ancient symbols, similar to those she had seen in the ritual site and the manuscripts. The dark force seemed to emanate from this place, filling the chamber with a palpable sense of dread.
Elena approached the altar, her heart pounding. The dagger she carried felt heavier with each step, its purpose becoming clearer. The manuscripts had described this chamber as the source of the curse's power, where the dark force was bound and controlled.
As she examined the altar, she noticed a dark, swirling vortex in the center—a rift that seemed to pulse with an otherworldly energy. The vortex was the source of the dark force that had plagued Blackwood. Elena knew that to break the curse, she had to confront and destroy it.
