POV: LIORAThe colossal hand gripping the edges of the shattered prison tightened with terrifying strength, sending fractures racing through the ancient stone like lightning splitting the night sky. Every crack released another torrent of crimson mist that swallowed the Heart Chamber in an eerie haze, turning the silver glow of the Moonstone into little more than a distant beacon struggling against an endless tide of darkness. The entire mountain groaned beneath the strain, and the ground trembled so violently that broken pillars collapsed into the abyss surrounding the ancient sanctuary.A crushing force pressed against my chest, making every breath feel heavier than the last. The fragment sleeping inside my blood responded instantly, surging through my veins with blazing silver energy that spread beneath my skin. The mark behind my shoulder burned with such intensity that I instinctively reached toward it, only for the Blade of Ardyn to blaze brighter in my grasp. The weapon hummed

POV: LioraThe journey through the buried city ended at the edge of a cliff that overlooked the deepest place beneath the First Kingdom, and the sight waiting beyond stole every remaining breath from my lungs.The Heart Chamber spread beneath us like the center of another world. Its ceiling disappeared into darkness, while rivers of silver light flowed through enormous cracks in the stone like veins carrying life through the mountain. Countless pillars circled the vast chamber, each carved with ancient wolves kneeling before the Moon Goddess. Suspended high above the center floated an enormous crystal unlike anything I had ever imagined. The Moonstone glowed with breathtaking beauty, its surface shifting between silver, blue, and white as streams of pure energy spiraled around it like living stars.Beneath that magnificent light stood another throne.Unlike the throne we had discovered above, this one radiated an entirely different presence.
