As Caleb's strength returned, he found himself torn between two worlds—the past that brought comfort and familiarity with Victoria and the future that beckoned him with Elena's love and the promise of a life together. Each step of his recovery deepened his inner conflict.
His days were spent in deep contemplation, trying to make sense of his emotions. The memories of his adventures with Victoria intertwined with the moments shared with Elena, pulling him in different directions and leaving him feeling lost and torn.
Driven by desperation, Victoria devised a plan to sway Caleb away from Elena. Aware that time was running out, she sought help from an enigmatic old witch who lived deep within the forest—the Keeper of Lost Souls. In exchange for a treasured possession, the witch granted Victoria a potion that would ignite Caleb's memories of their shared past and cloud his thoughts about Elena.
