The quiet night air carried with it an eerie chill, as though the world itself was holding its breath. Kael, Aeris, and Morgana stood at the edge of the Academy's grounds, the ancient book of the Codex tucked securely beneath Kael's arm. The path ahead was fraught with unknowns, but there was no turning back. The answers they sought lay within the Veil—the source of the eternal Flux, a place where reality itself bent and twisted. To enter it was to risk everything.
"Are we ready for this?" Aeris asked, her voice low but steady. Her eyes flickered to the horizon, where the night sky stretched out like an endless sea of stars.
Kael nodded, his gaze unwavering. "We have no choice. We've seen what happens when the Codex falls into the wrong hands. If we don't act now, the world could unravel."
