Amelia stood at the crossroads of her past and future, torn between the memories that called to her and the unknown darkness lurking just beyond the horizon. The stone in her hand felt heavy, its ancient energy pulsing with power. It was the key to everything, but what would unlocking it truly mean?
The Watcher's words haunted her, their weight pressing down on her every thought. She was the last piece of the puzzle, the key to the curse's true nature—and to the village's survival. But at what cost?
