As the radiant light illuminated the sanctuary, the darkness retreated, leaving behind an eerie calm. The ancient carvings on the stone walls seemed to come alive, their intricate designs reflecting the new source of energy. Elara, Selene, Professor Arthen, and Rylan stood in awe at the center of the chamber, marveling at the transformation.
"Whatever you did, it worked," Rylan said, his sword still glowing from the burst of energy that had dispelled the cloaked figure. "But what exactly did we unlock?"
Professor Arthen adjusted his glasses, studying the patterns that now pulsed with a subtle glow. "The alignment of the stars," he replied, his voice filled with reverence. "It seems this sanctuary is more than just a place—it's a conduit for ancient power. When you aligned the symbols, you activated that power."
