  The void-realm screeches, shadow-crystals splintering under a sky of jagged rifts. Searing air scorches my throat, shadow’s acrid tang clinging to my skin. I am Aelys, mortal, taut, lunar mark a faint scar, silvered hair matted with dust. Lena’s spark pulses steady in my chest, tethering me to the Veil’s fraying weave. My blade, Elara’s runes etched deep, grips warm as I lead Kalia and our group—Cassia, Renn, Maddox, Sylvara, Lysara, Theryn, Zorath, Valthor, Lirien, Kael, Veyra—across cracked stone. The Veil’s thread hums faint in my heart, buckling under a Herald’s hum. Kalia strides beside me, blue aura bright, rift-touched orb glowing in her hands, sealed cracks shimmering. Her twin-star eyes trace crystal veins, breath even, fingers tight on the orb. I grip her arm, voice low, cutting through the screech. “Kalia, find the core.” She nods, lips set, orb sparking, eyes fierce, Lena’s spark mir

I am Aelys, mortal, steady, lunar mark a pale scar, silvered hair loose across my shoulders. Lena’s spark pulses bright in my chest, anchoring me to the Veil’s fragile weave. My blade, Elara’s runes carved deep, rests sheathed as I stand with Kalia and our group—Cassia, Renn, Maddox, Sylvara, Lysara, Theryn, Zorath, Valthor, Lirien, Kael, Veyra—in the sanctum’s glow. The Veil’s thread hums soft in my heart, trembling under a distant Herald’s echo. Kalia kneels at a crystal altar, blue aura steady, rift-touched orb glowing in her hands, its sealed cracks shimmering. Her twin-star eyes trace runes, breath calm, fingers steady on the orb. I rest a hand on her shoulder, voice low, cutting through the hum. “Kalia, seal the Veil.” She nods, lips firm, orb sparking, eyes fierce, Lena’s spark mirrored.Lirien stands beside
