STOLEN FATES OF THE UNKNOWN 1

Cassian, Lira, and Kael stood before a newly discovered hidden passage in the depths of the spire. The faint outline of a door was revealed when the dust of the battle settled, a thin crack running along the surface of the wall. 


Cassian ran his fingers over the stone, feeling the cold, rough texture beneath his fingertips. “This must lead somewhere important,” he said, his voice low and thoughtful. 


Kael stepped forward, narrowing her eyes as she examined the mechanism. “It’s old, but it looks like it hasn’t been used in a long time.” She pressed against the door, using her weight to push it open. 


With a groaning creak, the door swung inward, revealing a dark, narrow corridor. The air inside was thick with the scent of damp earth and ancient stone. 


Lira delayed, as the mark on her arm tingled with a faint warning. “There’s something... strange about this place. We should be careful.”
