Chapter 57: Journey to the Veilstorm

The group embarked on the journey to the Veilstorm Tower, their steps echoing in the eerie silence of the swamp lands. Kael, intrigued by the name, turned to Adrian with a question.

"Why is it called the Veilstorm Tower, and what's it doing out here in the swamp lands?" Kael inquired, glancing at the looming tower in the distance.

Adrian's gaze fixed on the tower, memories flashing across his eyes. "Legend has it that the tower was once a place of great magical experiments. The name 'Veilstorm' comes from an ancient ritual performed here that was said to tear the fabric between realms, creating a tempest of magical energy."

The group continued through the murky swamp, the air thick with a sense of foreboding. Soon, they encountered more goblins, the mischievous creatures emerging from the shadows of the twisted trees. This time, however, Adrian raised his hand, summoning a crackling lightning bolt that arced through the air, vanquishing the goblins in a dazzling display of magic.

Emily couldn't contain her excitement. "That was awesome, Adrian! Can you teach me how to do that?"

Adrian chuckled, the residual energy of his magic dissipating. "Maybe someday, Emily. For now, let's focus on reaching the Veilstorm Tower and finding Dr. Alaric Ardent."
