The air is thick with primal magic, stirring my crescent mark into a steady burn. I move cautiously, my new sight scanning for the keystone the mysterious lunar-eyed figure warned me about—a relic Voren planted to drain the Hollow’s wards.

I am Aelys, mortal, taut, lunar mark a faint scar, silvered hair clinging to my brow. 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 trembling stone. The Veil’s thread hums faint in my heart, buckling under a Starless 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 roar. “Kalia, seal the relic.” She nods, lips set, orb sparking, eyes fierce, Lena’s spark mirrored.

The Veil’s thread hums soft in my heart, trembling under a faint Starless echo. Kalia kneels at a crystal altar, blue aura steady, rift-touched orb glowing in her hands, sealed cracks shimmering.

I rest a hand on her shoulder, voice low, cutting through the hum. “Kalia, bind the Starless.” She nods, lips firm, orb sparking, eyes fierce, Lena’s spark mirrored.Lirien stands beside her, tab
