Arachne's eyes seemed to clear, and she looked up at Kael with a mixture of confusion and fear. "What happened?" she repeated. "I remember...the crystal...and then...nothing."

Kael helped Arachne to her feet, holding her steady as she swayed. "You were possessed by the crystal's power," he explained. "We had to destroy it to break its hold on you."

Arachne's gaze fell to the shattered remains of the crystal, and a shiver ran down her spine. "I remember feeling its power," she said. "It was like nothing I've ever experienced before. I was consumed by it, and I couldn't control myself."

Lyra stepped forward, her eyes filled with concern. "Are you okay?" she asked. "Did the crystal's power do any lasting damage?"

Arachne hesitated, her eyes searching inward. "I...I think I'm okay," she said. "But I feel...different. Like there's something inside me, waiting to be unleashed."

Kael's grip on Arachne's arm tightened. "We'll get you through this," he said. "We'll figure out what's going on a

    Venturing deeper into the corridor, the whispering grew louder, the words becoming more distinct. "Turn back... danger ahead... escape while you can..." Kael's heart pounded in his chest, his senses on high alert. He couldn't shake the feeling that they were being warned, but by whom?Arachne led the way, her eyes fixed on the darkness ahead.

Arachne stood behind them, her eyes flashing with determination. The leader of the riders, the man with the scar above his left eyebrow, charged at Kael. Kael parried the attacker's blow, his sword clashing with the rider's. The two men exchanged blows, their swords ringing out as they clashed. Lyra fought off two riders, her sword slicing through the air with deadly precision. Arachne joined the battle, her fists flying as she took down a rider with a swift kick.
