Chapter 3: A New Truth

Celestine found herself in a vast chamber of swirling galaxies and floating tomes, a celestial library beyond comprehension. As the Forgotten One guided her through the endless halls, she realized that the knowledge buried here could reshape everything she knew about history.

"How was this all hidden?" she asked, marveling at the suspended books that whispered secrets of the past.

The Forgotten One's expression darkened. "The gods of Eldoria feared the truth. They rewrote history, sealing me away so that my knowledge could never reach mortal hands."

Celestine hesitated. "And yet, the book was left behind."

A slow smile crossed the figure's lips. "Yes. Because not even the gods could destroy it."

As they moved deeper into the chamber, Celestine sensed a presence watching them. A flicker of movement in the shadows. Someone—or something—was following them.

"We are not alone," she whispered.

The Forgotten One sighed. "They have come for us."

The chamber trembled, and from the darkness emerged figures clad in ethereal armor, their weapons gleaming with celestial energy.

"The Keepers," Celestine murmured in recognition.

The Forgotten One raised a hand. "You must choose, Celestine. Stay with them and forget what you have learned, or come with me and reclaim the truth."

Her heart pounded. Everything she had sworn to protect was at stake. But something inside her whispered that the truth mattered more than the comfort of ignorance.

Celestine reached for the Forgotten One's hand. And together, they vanished into the light.
