The sun dipped low on the horizon as the Guardians gathered around the altar, its light now pulsing rhythmically like a heartbeat. The energy from the awakened Seal filled the clearing, wrapping them in a warm glow, yet an undercurrent of unease settled among them.
“Now that we’ve activated the Seal, what do we do next?” Lucas asked, his brow furrowed in thought. “Is there a way to harness its power?”
Emily stepped closer to the Seal, her fingers grazing its surface. “We need to commune with the spirits connected to this place. They may guide us on how to wield its energy and what our next steps should be.”
Mia, ever curious, knelt beside the altar, tracing the intricate designs etched into the stone. “What do you think these symbols mean? They must hold some significance.”
“They likely tell a story,” Alex mused, joining her. “A history of the Seals and the battles fought to protect them. We should study them closely; they might offer us insights into our own struggles.”
