As the academy flourished under Aric and his companions, a new generation of students arrived, eager to learn and contribute to the ever-expanding knowledge of magic and unity. Among them was a young prodigy named Caelum, whose affinity for both elemental and arcane magics was unparalleled. His curiosity and innovative spirit were reminiscent of Aric's own journey.
One day, while exploring a forgotten section of the archives, Caelum discovered a peculiar artifact—a crystalline orb inscribed with ancient runes. Intrigued, he brought it to Aric, who recognized the runes as those belonging to an ancient civilization known for their mastery of time and space. This discovery hinted at untapped potential that could redefine their understanding of magic.
