Returning to the Veilwalker enclave, Alistor seeks solace in the presence of his master, Ythallia. The two engage in a heartfelt conversation, their words weaving a tapestry of wisdom and guidance. Ythallia commends Alistor for his courage and growth, emphasizing the importance of balance in his newfound abilities.
"You have come far, my dear Alistor," Ythallia says, her voice resonating with pride. "But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Your gift of perceiving the colors of souls is a rare and profound ability. Use it wisely and with compassion, for it holds the power to shape destinies."
Inspired by Ythallia's words, Alistor embarks on a personal quest of self-discovery. He delves into ancient tomes and scrolls within the enclave's vast library, seeking knowledge about the Veilwalker lineage and the origins of their unique abilities. Conversations with fellow Veilwalkers offer insights and anecdotes, unraveling the rich tapestry of their shared history.
