Chapter 3: The Enigmatic Bruno

Zilan's search for answers led him to the doorstep of Bruno, the reclusive inventor known for his eccentric creations and a reputation for keeping to himself. Bruno's sprawling workshop was a labyrinth of gears, contraptions, and the faint hum of forgotten machinery.

With a newfound determination, Zilan approached Bruno, hoping to glean knowledge about the strange artifacts he had encountered in Mayan's lair. As Zilan delved into a conversation with the inventor, he realized that there was more to Bruno than met the eye.

Bruno, although initially wary, soon recognized Zilan's genuine desire to unravel the mysteries of the eclipse tome and the peculiar journal. Reluctantly, he shared a startling revelation: he was once a guardian of ancient knowledge, a guardian entrusted with secrets that rivaled even Mayan's dark magic.

Intrigued by the potential within Zilan, Bruno began to mentor him, revealing hidden spells, mechanical marvels, and secrets that had long been buried beneath the town of Oakwood. Zilan's understanding of the world of magic deepened, and he realized that his quest for resurrection and revenge was far more complex than he had ever imagined.

With newfound knowledge and an unlikely ally in Bruno, Zilan's journey took an unexpected turn, setting the stage for an intricate web of magic, machinery, and the looming presence of Mayan's dark intentions. The town of Oakwood held more secrets than anyone could have ever anticipated.
