Its light spread outward, illuminating the area and forming a perimeter that pushed back the encroaching shadows. Kael, Morgana, and Darien stood close to the Heart, the weight of its ancient light filling them with a newfound resolve.

Among them stood Liora and the other council leaders, each resolved to protect the Luminal Heart and preserve the delicate balance of their world. Kael raised his voice, his tone steady yet filled with urgency.
