She felt a strange chill as She stood before the altar, but She knew that he had to study the book to understand the power She had gained. Aether reached out and grabbed the ancient book. The moment Her hand touched the cover, She felt a powerful flash of energy, as if the book was alive and responding to his presence.
Remi stood beside Aether, looking at the book with curiosity and a little fear. "What's in it, Aether? Will it help us?"
Aether opened the book slowly, the pages were made of old, fragile parchment and were full of strange writings in a language he didn't recognize. However, when She started reading, the words seemed to come to life, moving and forming sentences that She could understand.
"The power of darkness that you possess is a legacy from a long forgotten world," reads one sentence in the book. "This power can destroy, but it can also save. It all depends on controlling it. To understand it, you must go through the final test, where your heart and soul will be tested."
Aether felt her heart beating faster. "Final exam?" She whispered to himself. "What does it mean?"
As She continues to read, the book provides clues about this temple and the power hidden within. There is an ancient power tied to this temple, a power that can help Aether control the power of darkness within him. However, to achieve this, She must open the seals hidden in the temple and face every challenge presented.
"Remi," Aether said in a serious tone, closing the book. "I have to break the seals in this temple to gain full control over this power. But it will be very dangerous. You can wait here if you want."
Remi shook his head firmly. "No, Aether. I'll come with you. I've come this far with you, and I won't leave you now."
Aether smiled slightly, feeling a little stronger at Remi's courage. "Very well. But we must be careful. The forces we face here may be far greater than we ever imagined."
The two of them began to explore the temple, looking for the seals mentioned in the book. The temple is full of dark passages and large rooms filled with ancient statues and strange symbols. Every corner of this temple seems to be full of mystery and hidden dangers.
They find the first seal in a room filled with warrior statues. The seal was a large circle carved into the floor, surrounded by ancient symbols. As Aether approached the seal, the statues around him began to move, emitting terrifying crackling sounds.
"It seems we have to face them," Aether said firmly, gripping his sword tightly. She knew that this was the first test they had to pass.
The statues rose from their pedestals, holding swords and shields that looked very real despite being made of stone. They started approaching Aether and Remi with heavy steps, preparing to attack.
Aether felt the dark power within him begin to awaken, giving him new energy. She raised her sword and attacked the statues with full force. Every time her sword struck the statue, a dark flash of light reflected off, shattering the stone into fragments.
Remi, although afraid, tries to help by looking for gaps between the statues, distracting them so Aether can attack more effectively. "Aether, here! Attack the rear!" Remi shouted, pointing out a weak spot in one of the statues.
Quickly, Aether launched an attack that crushed the statue into dust. However, the other statues continued to approach, showing no signs of weakening. Aether had to continue fighting, using the power of darkness within him carefully, making sure She didn't get too carried away by the energy coursing through his body.
After a fight that seemed to last forever, Aether finally succeeded in destroying all the statues in the room. The seal on the floor began to glow brightly, and rumbling sounds could be heard throughout the temple, as if something huge had just awakened.
"We did it!" Remi exclaimed happily. "One seal has been opened!"
Aether breathed a sigh of relief. "We have to find the other seals," She said, While trying to calm himself down after the exhausting fight. "The sooner we get this done, the sooner we can get out of here."
They continued their journey through the temple, looking for other seals. Each seal they find is always guarded by a different challenge, be it living statues, tricky puzzles, or deadly traps. However, with the power of darkness continuing to grow within him, Aether managed to overcome every challenge, breaking seal after seal.
After breaking five seals, Aether and Remi finally arrived at the large door at the heart of the temple, where the final seal was. The door was made of black metal decorated with intricate carvings and ancient symbols. In the middle of the door, there was a large circle that looked like a key to open the final seal.
"This is it," Aether said firmly. "The final seal we have to open."
The two of them approached the door, and when Aether raised her hand to touch the large circle in the center, the entire temple shook violently. Suddenly, from the shadows around the room, a huge figure appeared that looked more terrifying than anything they had ever encountered before.
The figure had a large body with pitch black skin, her eyes glowed red with a look full of hatred. He wore armor that looked like it was made of dark metal, and in his hand was a huge ax that radiated a terrifying aura of darkness.
"The last guard," Aether whispered, feeling fear and adrenaline mixed together. "We must defeat him to break this final seal."
The guard let out a growling sound that echoed throughout the room. With one swing of his axe, he hit the floor, creating a shockwave that cracked the floor beneath their feet.
Aether jumped to the side, dodging the attack quickly. "Remi, be careful!" he shouted while preparing himself for a fierce fight. this was his final test in this temple, The Two Of Them had to use all the strength They had to win.
