The shadows of the forest stretched long under the dim light of dawn. The soft rustling of leaves filled the air, accompanied by the faint chirping of birds that had dared to venture back after the chaos of the dungeon battle.
Kenji sat cross-legged on a patch of soft moss, his thoughts lost in the events of the past night. Argoth's hulking form stood nearby, motionless yet brimming with silent power, like a storm waiting to be unleashed. The shadows of the forest played across the beast's dark, muscular frame, a reminder of the strength Kenji now commanded.
