Capítulo 178: Chapter 178: The Trial of the Heart

The dense foliage of Eldoria thinned as they emerged, their spirits bolstered by the success of their latest trial. The second fragment of the Heartstone nestled securely with the first, glowing faintly with a promise of greater power.

"We're making progress," Lyra said, her eyes scanning the horizon. "But where to next?"

Morgana unfurled the map once more, her fingers tracing the intricate lines. "The next fragment lies to the west, in the Caverns of Liora. This trial will be different—it's said to test the heart and the soul."

Elara nodded, feeling the weight of their journey settle upon her shoulders. "We've proven our strength and our unity. Now we must show our true selves, our deepest convictions."

The journey to the Caverns of Liora was arduous. The terrain shifted from dense forests to rugged hills and finally to rocky plains. They traveled with purpose, the bond between them growing stronger with each step.
