Eternal Echoes: A Dance with Darkness

Hearing Ember's voice was a welcome relief after the tumultuous days I'd endured. Unable to communicate with her since her abduction, I'd spent countless hours searching for the man who could return me to Eternium. Fueled by a mix of anger and guilt, I'd relentlessly pursued this quest, haunted by my failure to protect her.

"That's what I thought... But..." Her voice trailed off, a hint of tears in her tone.
