In the eerie glow of the campfire, the group's discussion about their impending mission resonated through the Monastery's Cloister. The stakes were high as they held the coveted blue flames Akashic record, a source of immense power that could tip the scales in their favor. The Urelium Pillar loomed in the distance, a symbol of both potential salvation and impending confrontation.

The focus of the conversation was the dark and enigmatic figure, Priestess Sheji Afua, who had become a threat to the delicate balance of the realm.

Maleek continued throughout the room until he reached an ascending elevator leading to the lower crater.

The boarding ramp extended with a metallic groan, touching down on the blistering, rocky terrain. The ground hissed with pressure, venting smoke and sulfur from small, jagged fissures like the breath of some buried leviathan.“This is where we must part! Get off my ship,” Venganza declared, her tone sharp and impatient.Maleek frowned, brow furrowing as he scanned the alien landscape. “Where do I go from here?” he asked, uncertainty slipping into his voice.“Must I show you everything?” she snapped, a scowl tightening her already cold features.“Well, shit!

However…” He paused, lifting the blade and letting its weight settle in his hand before resting it against his shoulder. “Before I execute you, I will parade your broken, near-dead body through the fire temples. The clergy shall see the cost of rebellion. You will not be remembered as a martyr—only as a failure. Your death will be slow, and your shame will be eternal.”As he unsheathed the blade with a ceremonial twist, ancient runes etched into the black metal lit up in brilliant orange. Th

Maleek's panic seeped into his words. "Why the distress? You are better off without the dead weight," Venganza retorted, his tone icy. "You're probably thrilled I won't be getting the Mikaelium elemental energy," Maleek accused bitterly. Venganza chuckled darkly. "You let that hot-headed fool dictate your actions. Surprising, considering you're usually one to grasp victory when it's within reach.""I'm not, but did you hear Shangus? He's furious for saving you, something I don't recall doing!"

    Deep within the heart of the Sethalan Mountains lies the Sethalan Monastery, a testament to both the raw power of nature and the disciplined pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. Carved into the ancient remains of a dormant volcano, this sacred sanctuary was born from the fiery depths of the earth itself. Once a vessel for molten fury, the volcano's lava was drained long ago, leaving behind a hollowed shell infused with the essence of primal flame.But the legacy of fire did not end with the cooling of the volcano's rage. Instead, it became the very foundation upon which the monastery was constructed. Molten obsidian, hardened from the volcanic flow, formed the walls and structures of this revered place. Yet, it was not mere stone that adorned its halls but the treasures of the temple itself – precious jewels imbued with spiritual significance.
