Chapter 67 — Shadows of the Past
The ruins of Elyndor's Fall lay hidden in a forgotten valley where the Veil had once been at its weakest.
According to the fragmented knowledge from the Abyssal Archive and Liora's deepening visions from Seraphiel, this was the site of her final, desperate rebellion — the place where she had tried to shatter the Veil permanently and create true balance before the Celestial Host sealed her away. Few had ever returned from expeditions here. Those who did spoke of ghosts, fractured time, and memories that were not their own.
Cairis, Liora, Grimgor Ashreaver, and a small escort of their most trusted warriors arrived at dawn after three grueling days of travel. The air felt heavy, saturated with ancient power. The valley itself seemed wrong — trees grew in impossible spirals, flowers bloomed in colors that hurt the eyes, and faint golden motes of light drifted alongside writhing shadows.
