Rai's POV
At the heart of the temple, I found a chamber lit by a pale, eerie light. In the center of the room, on a pedestal of black stone, lay the dark stone. Its surface was a deep, impenetrable black, absorbing all light and emitting a cold, dark aura.
I approached the dark stone, feeling its dark energy resonate. I reached out, and my fingers were brushing the stone's cold surface. A surge of power coursed through him, a mixture of light and dark, hope and despair.
I carefully lifted the dark stone from its pedestal, cradling it in my hands. The stone was surprisingly light, yet it seemed to weigh heavily on my body.
I knew that the journey was far from over. Now I had to return it to Alexio, my land, and unite it with the sun stone. Only then could I hope to restore the balance and protect it from the encroaching darkness.
