Mist clung to Lena's boots like a living shroud, the air thick with salt and forgotten rain. Her fingers tightened around the brass compass, its needle jerking erratically before snapping still—north, always north, into the jagged cliffs.

She'd found it in her grandfather's attic, tucked in a tin box with a note: 'It calls the lost home.' Home? She'd left that fishing village years ago, chasing maps that promised more than empty nets. Now, with debt collectors circling, this pull felt like madness—or salvation.

The path narrowed, thorns snagging her jacket with tiny rips that stung like accusations. Seagulls screamed overhead, their cries echoing unnaturally, as if mimicking words. 'Turn back,' they seemed to warn. Lena pressed on, heart pounding against her ribs, the compass warm now, pulsing like a heartbeat.

She stumbled onto solid ground, temple doors yawning open, vines curling back like welcoming arms. Inside, glowworms painted walls in sapphire hues, illuminating a pedestal with a single glowing orb. Touch it, and the whispers promised answers. Her hand hovered, the air humming with possibility.

But as her fingers brushed the surface, shadows stirred in the corners—eyes glinting, forms shifting. The compass burned hot, needle spinning again. North? Or deeper into the dark?
