STOLEN FATES OF THE UNKNOWN 1

The Grand Council Chamber of the Resonance Keepers stood empty, except for three figures. Ellara, now bearing the full marks of her power—silver streaks in her hair and eyes that altered between normal brown and starlit silver—faced the Ancient Ones. Her journey from village girl to fully realized Keeper had cost her dearly, but the transformation was complete. 


Kael stood beside her, his staff now permanently etched with glowing runes that pulsed in rhythm with the magical currents around them. The months of battle and discovery has changed him also, as his face bore new scars, both physical and magical. 


The third figure, High Elder Moira, was barely corporeal. Her form changed between solid and ethereal, a testament to her existence in multiple realities simultaneously. 


"The convergence cannot be stopped," Moira's voice echoed with centuries of wisdom. "But it can be guided."
