The Order of the Eclipse had sent a detailed report, outlining the disturbances they'd detected in the balance of power. The scroll was filled with intricate diagrams and cryptic notes, but one thing was clear: the Eclipse Dragon's defeat had left a void, and something far more dangerous was rising to fill it.
"The **Void Serpent**," I read aloud, my voice trembling. "A being of pure chaos, born from the absence of balance. If it rises, it will consume everything in its path."
Skully, perched on my shoulder, tilted his head. *"A Void Serpent? Sounds like someone's been reading too many fairy tales."*
"This isn't a fairy tale, Skully," I said, my voice serious. "The Order believes it's real, and if they're right, we're in serious trouble."
Skully's rune flickered faintly, his eye sockets narrowing. *"So what's the plan, Master? Do we just wave the Prism at it and hope for the best?"*
"Not exactly," I replied, scanning the scroll for more information. "The Order believes the Void Serpent can only be defeated by restoring balance to the **Ethereal Nexus**, a place where the energies of light and darkness converge."
*"Sounds fun,"* Skully said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. *"Where do we find this Nexus?"*
"According to the scroll, it's located in the **Veil of Shadows**, a realm beyond our world," I explained. "But getting there won't be easy. The Veil is guarded by powerful creatures and ancient wards."
Skully grinned, his rune glowing faintly. *"When has that ever stopped us?"*
