Chapter 915: Chapter 915: The Shadows That Set Our Souls Free from the Past's Grip

The hidden door in the archives was ancient and intricate, its surface covered in elaborate carvings that depicted scenes of battles and rituals long forgotten. Elara, Kirin, Morgana, Seraphina, and Jarek stood before it, the weight of their quest pressing heavily upon them.

Morgana studied the door closely, her eyes tracing the arcane symbols. "These symbols are a blend of protective and locking runes," she said. "If I'm right, we'll need to perform a specific incantation to unlock it."

Elara nodded. "Do you know the incantation?"

Morgana shook her head. "Not precisely. But I can deduce it from the runes. It will take a few moments."

The group fell silent, the tension palpable as Morgana began her work. Her staff glowed faintly, and she chanted softly, her voice a murmur of ancient words. The air crackled with magical energy as the runes on the door began to respond.
