Chapter 10: The Inheritance of the Light of the Bloodline

The night in the town of Eldria grew darker, as if you could hear the heartbeat and the sound of the wind. Alex, Isabella, and Lucas stood in the corner of the square, their shadows stretched long in the moonlight. The joy of the curse had not faded, and they knew it was only the beginning of a long journey.

Alex dug his hand into his pocket and grasped the yellowed old letter, which was the beginning of his adventure. The secrets in the letters, about the forgotten bloodlines, are like a clue that leads them step by step closer to the truth. Now, they face a new challenge, the secret of an ancient and mysterious family.

Isabella looked up at the starry sky, as if looking for some kind of guidance. "We must find the forgotten branch of the family, who may have the key to lifting the curse." There was a strong determination in her words.

Lucas sighed softly. "That family has disappeared into the long river of history, can we find traces of them?" There was concern in his words.

In the night, a breeze blows, bringing the fragrance of the distant mountains and forests. The three of them looked at each other and smiled, each other's eyes full of anticipation of the unknown and trust in each other.

Suddenly, the silence of the night was shattered by the sound of hurried footsteps. An old man hurried over, his face anxious. "Mr. Lucas, the people of the town need your help."

Lucas frowned. "What's wrong?"

The old man gasped. "Outside the town there is an ancient tombstone excavated with the coat of arms of that forgotten family. The people of the town say that is the source of the curse. "

There was a glint in Isabella's eyes. "We've got to go and see."

The three of them immediately set off through the town towards the ancient tombstone. In the night, the moonlight and the starlight reflect each other, as if to light the way ahead for them.

Arriving at the tombstone, Lucas picked up the badge on the tombstone and took a closer look. His fingers slid lightly over the intricate symbol, and suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "The symbol on this badge is very similar to the one on the magic books we see in the library."

Alex took the badge and stared at the pattern on it. "Perhaps, that's the key to unlocking the curse."

Isabella clenched her wand tightly. "No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, we must uncover the secrets of this family and put an end to this curse."

As the night fell, the moonlight shone on the three of them, reflecting their determination. They know that this is just the beginning, and that there are countless unknown challenges that lie ahead.

As they delve into the secrets of this ancient family, a story of love, sacrifice and redemption unfolds. The fate of the three of them is closely linked to the fate of this family. As Isabella and Alex's spells echoed through the underground room, a powerful force poured out of them, intertwined with the light of the crystal ball. Lucas stared at the crystal ball tightly, his eyes full of nervousness and anticipation. He felt an invisible force surging through the room, as if an ancient curse was answering their call.

"This force... It feels different. Lucas's voice was low and trembling.

Isabella looked up, her eyes shining with determination. "We have to continue, Lucas. We can't let this force take control of this town again. "

Alex took a deep breath, his voice filled with determination. "I know, but we need more information. We need to understand the history of this family and understand the origins of the curse. "

At that moment, the silence of the underground room was shattered by the sound of hurried footsteps. An old man hurried into the room, his face filled with anxiety and fear.

"Mr. Lucas, the people of town... They began to feel uneasy. They are scared and don't know what will happen next. "

Lucas stood up, his eyes full of determination. "We can't let them be afraid, we need to give them hope. We'll find a solution. "

Isabella walked up to the old man, her voice soft and powerful. "We'll find out. Now, we need your help to go to town and pacify the people. "

The old man nodded, turned and left. Alex looked at his back, and a sense of responsibility welled up in his heart. He knew that they faced not only the lifting of the curse, but also the fear of the unknown.

Night fell again, and the town of Eldria was shrouded in mist, making it even more ominous. The church bells echo in the twilight, announcing the awakening of the townspeople. However, Victor Gray did not sit still. He stood in the depths of the abandoned mine, his eyes staring coldly at the notebook in his hand.

"They think they've found the truth," Victor muttered, his voice filled with anger and mockery. "But no one can stop the wheel of fate."

Alex, Isabella, and Lucas leave the underground room and return to the castle. They know that there are many secrets in the castle waiting to be revealed. Alex pointed to a dusty door in the castle. "We need to check there. Maybe we're missing some important clue. "

Isabella nodded, her eyes full of determination. "You're right. The history of this family is still shrouded in mystery, and we need to find out what really happened. "

Lucas followed, his heart filled with determination. He knew that they had to uncover the family's secrets and put an end to the curse.

As they delved deeper into the castle, they discovered a dusty library. The shelves are littered with old books and scrolls, one of which in particular caught Alex's attention. He picked up the book and flipped to a page with legends about the De Morton family.

"Look at this," Alex said, his voice filled with excitement. "There is a reference here to an ancient ritual that is said to reveal the secrets of the family."

Isabella and Lucas gathered around, their eyes full of curiosity. "This ritual... Does it really exist? Isabella asked.

Alex nodded. "We have to try. This ritual may be the key to our finding the truth. "

The three of them began to prepare for the ceremony, their hearts filled with hope and determination. They know that this adventure has only just begun, but they are ready to face any challenge.
