“Adrian, over here!” Emma shouted, her voice barely audible over the cacophony.
The underground chamber echoed with the chaotic sounds of battle. The heavy door to the council’s hidden headquarters was flung open, and Adrian charged in, closely followed by Emma. Shadows danced on the stone walls as flashes of light from spellcasting illuminated the scene. Council members were fighting desperately, their backs against the wall.
“Adrian, over here!” Emma shouted, her voice barely audible over the cacophony.
Adrian nodded, his face set with determination. He raised his hand, a bolt of energy surging from his fingertips, striking an attacker who had been closing in on the council leader, Orion. The figure crumpled to the ground, revealing Orion’s grateful but cautious expression.
“Thank you,” Orion said, his voice strained but resolute. “But we’re not out of this yet.”

The air was thick with the scent of ancient stone and the weight of countless secrets. At the center of the chamber, a pedestal held a small, ornate box—its surface etched with runes that seemed to pulse with an inner light.“What do you think it is?” Elena whispered, her voice barely more than a breath.Theo adjusted his glasses, peering at the runes. “It’s an artifact of immense power. The markings suggest it was crafted by the original guardians of this temple.”Adrian approached the pedestal, his heart pounding. “Only one way to find out.” He reached out and lifted the box, feeling a strange warmth emanate from it.As he opened the box, a blinding light filled the chamber, forcing them to shield their eyes.
