A New Dawn

In a desperate act, Lena uses her knowledge of transmutation to stabilize the device and shatter Aeron's connection to the Soulglass. The process unleashes a wave of energy that destroys the Soulglass entirely and purges the Veil of Aeron's influence, but it also traps Lena within the Veil. Kael is forced to flee as the portal between the realms collapses, leaving Lena behind.

Back in Eryndor, the city mourns Lena, but her sacrifice becomes a beacon of hope and a reminder of the importance of balancing science and magic responsibly. Kael, now free of exile, dedicates himself to upholding Lena's legacy, while the Magical Council begins reforming its rigid and secretive policies.

Unknown to the world, Lena awakens within the remnants of the Veil, now transformed into a living tether between the two realms. Though isolated, she finds solace in knowing that her choices saved countless lives. As she gazes into the shimmering void, she vows to safeguard the boundary between science, magic, and the unknown—forever the guardian of balance.
