Echoes of the Forgotten City
Beneath the crumbling spires of Oakhaven lies a secret older than the stones themselves. You are Elara, a novice acolyte, haunted by whispers of a forgotten power. When a cryptic artifact is unearthed, your quiet life shatters, drawing you into a labyrinth of ancient conspiracies and forbidden magic. The city's fate, and perhaps the world's, rests on the secrets you uncover. Will you embrace the darkness, or will you be consumed by the echoes of the past?
The air in the temple library is thick with the scent of old parchment and dust. You trace the faded script of an ancient text, the words blurring as your mind wanders to the recurring dream of towering spires. A sudden commotion outside pulls you from your thoughts. Shouts echo through the temple halls, followed by the hurried footsteps of acolytes and guards. Master Kael bursts into the library, his face etched with concern.
“Elara! They’ve found something in the lower tunnels,” he says, his voice hushed. “An artifact. The energy it gives off… it’s unlike anything I’ve ever felt.” He glances at you, his eyes lingering on the small stone you always carry. “You need to be careful. This changes things.”
