The Darkness Revealed

Thorne led Kael.

And Lyra.

To the village's.

Ancient temple.

A sacred place.

Where the village's.

History.

And secrets.

Were kept.

Thorne's eyes.

Were grave.

"The darkness."

He began.

"Started.

As whispers."

In the night."

People acting strangely."

Violent outbursts."

Unexplained disappearances."

Kael's gaze.

Narrowed.

"I sense."

A dark energy."

Feeding.

On fear."

And chaos."

Lyra's determination.

Grew.

"We need.

To find.

The source."

And stop it."

Thorne nodded.

"I agree."

But be warned.

The darkness.

Is powerful."

And ancient."

Kael's expression.

Was resolute.

"I've faced.

Worse foes."

In Azura.

Lyra's trust.

In Kael.

Grew.

Thorne handed.

Kael.

A sacred text.

The Chronicle.

Of Light.

And Darkness.

Kael's eyes.

Scanned.

The pages.

Revealing.

The darkness's.

True nature.

An ancient entity.

Known.

As Xarath.

A being.

Of pure malice.

Feeding.

On fear.

And chaos.

Kael's determination.

Grew.

"I'll stop.

Xarath."

No matter.

The cost."

Lyra's hand.

Touched.

Kael's arm.

"Together."

We'll stop it."

Thorne's eyes.

Were solemn.

"The village.

Is counting.

On you."

Kael nodded.

"I won't fail."

The trio.

Set out.

To uncover.

Xarath's lair.

And put.

An end.

To the darkness.

As they journeyed.

Through.

The corrupted land.

Kael sensed.

Xarath's presence.

Growing stronger.

Lyra's courage.

Inspired.

The villagers.

To stand.

Against.

The darkness.

Thorne's wisdom.

Guided.

Their quest.

For the source.

Of Xarath's power.

Their bond.

Grew stronger.

As they faced.

Challenges.

And dangers.

Together.
