The Grand Library of Lunareth was larger than any building Arian had ever seen.
Thousands of ancient books filled towering shelves that stretched high toward the ceiling.
Magical lights floated quietly in the air.
An old librarian approached them slowly.
His long silver robes dragged across the floor.
"Welcome to the library," he said calmly.
"I am Master Selorin, keeper of Eldoria's history."
Arkon bowed respectfully.
"Master Selorin, we seek knowledge about the Forbidden Map of Magic."
The old librarian's expression changed immediately.
"That name has not been spoken here for many years."
Arian carefully placed the glowing map on a large table.
Selorin's eyes widened.
"You have already found three pieces…"
He slowly opened a massive ancient book.
Dust rose into the air.
"This book tells the story of the Heart of Abyss."
Arian leaned closer.
"What exactly is it?"
Selorin spoke in a serious voice.
"The Heart of Abyss is an ancient magical artifact created during the first age of Eldoria."
"It holds unlimited magical power."
"With it, someone could command dragons, control storms, and reshape entire kingdoms."
Lyra frowned.
"Then why wasn't it destroyed?"
Selorin shook his head.
"It cannot be destroyed."
"So the ancient sorcerers sealed it behind the Abyss Gate."
"And they created the map you now carry."
Draven crossed his arms.
"So if Malvyr gets all the pieces…"
Selorin finished the sentence quietly.
"He will open the Abyss Gate."
"And Eldoria will fall."
Arian looked down at the glowing map.
The responsibility suddenly felt heavier than ever before.
But something else was about to happen.
Something no one expected.
