تسجيل الدخولThe chamber fell silent.Even the alarms that had echoed through the Lost City seemed to disappear.Only one sound remained.A familiar voice.Warm.Steady.Gentle.Elyra's father's voice."My little star..."Elyra's breath caught.Her eyes immediately filled with tears.It couldn't be.She had watched memory after memory.She had accepted that her parents were gone.So how...How could his voice still exist?The crystal sphere floating at the center of the chamber shimmered with thousands of tiny lights.Each light flickered like a distant star.Astera stepped toward it slowly.Her glowing form flickered more noticeably now, as though every passing second weakened her.She looked at Elyra."Don't be afraid."Elyra swallowed hard."Is... is that really my father?"Astera smiled sadly."Not exactly."The answer hurt more than Elyra expected."It is the final memory he chose to leave behind."Silence."Just as others before him left pieces of themselves within the Heart."Elyra slowly a
The silver bridge grew silent.A cold wind swept across its surface.The white light surrounding the bridge slowly dimmed, replaced by long shadows that stretched toward the two Guardians.Elyra tightened her grip on Zevarion's hand.Neither of them looked away from the figures standing ahead.They were identical.One looked exactly like Elyra.The other exactly like Zevarion.The only difference......their eyes glowed a deep crimson.Cold.Empty.Ancient.Victor swallowed hard."I officially dislike evil twins."Damien muttered, "They're not twins."Victor sighed."That somehow makes it worse."The crimson-eyed Elyra smiled first.It wasn't a warm smile.It was calm.Confident.As if she already knew how this story would end."You've come farther than we expected."Her voice sounded exactly like Elyra's.Every word.Every breath.It was unsettling.Beside her, the crimson Zevarion folded his arms."You still believe you have a choice."Zevarion's expression hardened."Who are you?"
The silver bridge stretched across the Lost City like a ribbon of moonlight.It connected the ancient plaza to the towering structure at the city's heart.At the far end stood the enormous silver doors.Now fully open.Beyond them was nothing but brilliant white light.No walls.No shadows.Only light.It was beautiful.And somehow terrifying.The city's voice faded into silence after its final words."Only one truth remains hidden."Those words lingered in everyone's minds.Elyra looked down at the glowing mark on her wrist.The silver star at the center of the thirteen-branched tree pulsed gently.Beside her, Zevarion's crescent mark shone with the same rhythm.For the first time, their marks beat as one.Like two halves of the same heart.Astera watched them quietly."The bridge only appears when the two Guardians are united."Victor glanced at the bridge and sighed."So... another ancient test."Damien folded his arms."When have we ever had an easy path?"Victor looked genuinely
The Lost City shook violently.Crimson energy surged through the ancient streets like rivers of fire.The alarm continued its relentless warning."Containment integrity: Fifty-eight percent."The number echoed through the city.Each decrease felt like the countdown to disaster.But no one was paying attention to the alarm anymore.Not after the Legacy's final words."They died because they tried to kill me."Elyra stood frozen.Her mind refused to process what she had heard.Her parents...hadn't simply died protecting her?They had come here.They had fought the Legacy.They had tried to destroy it."No..."The word escaped her lips before she realized she had spoken."It can't be true."The ancient voice answered almost immediately."Truth does not change because it is painful."The words echoed across the city.Zevarion stepped closer to Elyra, his hand gently resting on her shoulder."Don't believe everything it says."His voice was calm.Steady.Grounding."It wants to confuse us
The whisper lingered in the air.Soft.Ancient.Unmistakably alive."You finally came back."Every light in the Lost City flickered.The crimson glow pulsed like the heartbeat of a giant creature buried beneath the mountain.Nobody spoke.Nobody dared.Elyra stood frozen.The words had been directed at her.Not at Astera.Not at Zevarion.At her.A chill crept down her spine."I... don't know you."Her voice was barely above a whisper.For a moment, there was only silence.Then the voice laughed.Not loudly.Not cruelly.Almost... fondly."You did once."The laughter echoed through the city, bouncing off ancient towers and crystal walls.Zevarion instinctively stepped in front of Elyra.His hand moved to the weapon at his side.His eyes searched the darkness."Show yourself."The voice ignored him.Instead, it spoke to Elyra again."You still protect others before yourself."Elyra frowned."Who are you?"No answer.Only silence.Then Astera raised her glowing hand."Do not answer it."
The alarm echoed throughout the Lost City.Again.And again.And again.The once-beautiful silver glow had transformed into a sea of crimson light.Ancient towers flashed warning signals.The streets trembled beneath everyone's feet.And from somewhere deep below the city came a sound unlike anything they had ever heard.A low hum.Ancient.Powerful.Alive.The sound seemed to vibrate through the stone itself.Through the air.Through their bones.Everyone stood frozen.Watching the city awaken into chaos.The mechanical voice echoed once more."Containment breach detected.""Containment breach detected."The warning repeated endlessly.Astera's luminous form turned toward the central tower.For the first time since meeting her.......fear appeared on her face.Real fear.The sight unsettled everyone.Because if the First Guardian was afraid...Then whatever was happening had to be serious.Very serious.Elyra stepped forward."What does that mean?"Astera didn't answer immediately.H
The second impact shook the chamber.Dust drifted from the ceiling.Several candles went out.For a moment, nobody spoke.Everyone stared toward the darkness beyond the Gate.Something was moving.Something large.Something powerful enough to shake centuries-old stone.Victor slowly raised a finger
The chamber fell into stunned silence.Nobody moved.Nobody spoke.The torn pages rested in the Archivist's hand.The very pages that had been removed from Zevarion's mother's journal.The missing pages.The missing truth.Elyra felt her heartbeat pound against her ribs.For a moment, nobody seemed
Silence gripped the chamber.No one spoke.No one moved.Isabella's words had changed everything."The killer was someone she trusted."The sentence echoed through everyone's mind.Elyra felt a chill crawl down her spine.Because trust narrowed the possibilities.Dangerously.Zevarion's gaze never
Nobody moved.Nobody breathed.The figure stood at the edge of the candlelight, partially hidden by shadows.Father Benedict looked as though he had seen a ghost.His hands trembled violently.His face had lost all color."No..."The whisper escaped his lips again.The figure took another step forw
