The journey through the ancient, untamed wilderness was both arduous and awe-inspiring. The landscape shifted from dense forests to treacherous mountain passes, each step revealing a world untouched by time. Elara, Kael, and Morgana pressed on, guided by the cryptic clues and their own growing intuition.
On the fifth day of their journey, they reached a secluded valley shrouded in mist. The air was thick with an otherworldly quiet, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves. The valley seemed almost ethereal, as if it were a forgotten fragment of another time.
As they carefully navigated the misty terrain, Elara noticed a series of symbols carved into the rock faces along their path. The markings were similar to those they had seen in the Archives of the Elders, suggesting they were on the right track.
