The Celestial Marauders stood at the edge of the forest, the ruined temple behind them now buried under the weight of history and stone. The artifact box, still pulsating with a soft glow, was clutched tightly in Kael’s hands. The weight of their recent discovery, both literal and figurative, bore down on them heavily.As they moved deeper into the forest, the tension among the group was palpable.

The fog clung to the forest like a living entity, its tendrils winding through the trees and wrapping around the Celestial Marauders as they stood before Arion.

His blue eyes, deep and knowing, seemed to pierce through the very essence of each of them, weighing their worth, their intentions.Kael kept his hand on the hilt of his weapon, not yet ready to trust the stranger who had appeared out of nowhere. The rest of the Marauders were equally on edge, their senses heightened after the brutal encounter with the nightmarish creatures."Why should we trust you?" Draco asked, his tone laced with suspicion. His eyes never left Arion’s staff, which still crackled with residual energy from whatever power the man had wielded to scare off the beasts.Arion met Draco’s gaze with a steady calm. "Because you have no choice," he replied. "The forces you’re up against are far beyond anything you’ve encountered. Alone, you will

The journey with Arion had been nothing short of enlightening, yet it was fraught with tension. The Celestial Marauders were acutely aware of the need to stay vigilant, but Arion’s insights had already proven invaluable. He had guided them through treacherous terrain, avoiding not just physical dangers but traps set by forces they couldn’t yet comprehend. Arion spoke little of his past or his intentions, but the depth of his knowledge was undeniable, and Kael couldn't shake the feeling that this man knew more about their quest than he was letting on.As they made camp for the night, the group gathered around a small fire, the flames flickering in the cool night air. The moon hung low in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the forest. It was quiet, almost too quiet, and the sense of unease that had settled over the group since Arion’s arrival was still palpable.Arion sat slightly apart from the rest, his back to a large tree, eyes scanning the darkness. It was as if he was waiting for

The dawn broke with a cold, grey light that filtered through the dense canopy of the forest. The air was crisp, and a thin mist clung to the ground as the Celestial Marauders prepared to break camp. Despite the unease of the previous night's encounter, there was a palpable sense of urgency among them. Arion had proposed a new destination—a place he described only as "the Crossroads," a point where realms intersected and ancient powers converged.As they packed their gear, Kael noticed the quiet resolve on each of his companions' faces. The recent revelations about the artifact’s true nature and the enemies that sought to wield its power had cemented their purpose. They were no longer mere survivors or relic hunters; they were guardians of a cosmic balance.“Remember, stay alert,” Kael instructed as he adjusted the straps on his backpack. “We’re not just facing our enemies; we’re up against the unknown.”Arion, who had been scouting the perimeter, returned to the group, nodding in agre
The Celestial Heist Chapter 169: The Echoes of Choices
