You must train tirelessly, learn the ancient arts, and master the celestial object hidden within this temple. It is the only thing that can match Lucifer's power."

Aric nodded, a fire igniting in his eyes. "I won't fail you, Master. I will protect our world."

The light mage smiled faintly, a mix of pride and sorrow. "I know you will, my child. Remember, the strength of light lies not just in power, but in purity, in hope, and in the unwavering belief that darkness can never fully extinguish the light. Now, take this."
