The starlit garden was completely calm now, the crystalline sand resting peacefully beneath the soft glow of the silver shyflowers. Sagiri walked slowly toward the glowing stone pavilion, his boots making soft crunching sounds in the stillness.
Lira walked beside him with her hand gently holding his arm, while Kaka, Kiuga, Maita, Zolinka, Ulekai, and Lady Kiana followed close behind. The violent storms of the outer chambers felt like a distant memory in this sacred space.
Inside the pavilion stood a round white marble pedestal, holding a wide stone basin filled with crystal-clear water. The surface of the water glowed with soft silver light, reflecting the stars above like a polished mirror.
"This is the Heart Chamber," Lady Kiana said, stepping up to the edge of the pavilion with quiet reverence. "This is where the deepest emotional memories of the N'folu line are preserved in their purest form."
