Chapter 4: The Veil's Echo
In the quiet aftermath of his meeting with the Shadow Enclave, Hiroto found himself wandering through Eldralore's ancient library, seeking knowledge about the Veil and the artifacts Corvus mentioned. It was there he encountered Lirael, a sage-like librarian with a deep understanding of Gaia's lore.
Lirael, sensing Hiroto's unique connection to the Veil, shared tales of the "Veil's Echo," a phenomenon that occurs once every millennium, opening paths between worlds and altering destinies. She hinted that Hiroto's arrival was no mere coincidence but a pivotal event predestined by the cosmic alignments.
Amidst dusty tomes and arcane scrolls, Hiroto uncovered references to the first of the artifacts, the "Starlit Amulet," hidden within the perilous Whispering Forest. Determined, he resolved to embark on this quest, aware that each step took him deeper into Gaia's mysteries and closer to the truth of his own role in this world's fate.
