The road ahead was long, but Ethan rode with renewed purpose. The revelation of his ancestral legacy burned in his mind, pushing him forward with a resolve that had been absent before. The wind whispered through the trees as if the forest itself was offering encouragement. Despite the looming threat of the entity, a quiet confidence had settled within him, born of the knowledge that he was part of something much larger, something ancient and powerful.
Days passed as Ethan journeyed through the wilderness, each one bringing him closer to his destination—the Abyssal Confluence, a place where the boundaries between realms were thinnest. The Codex of Shadows spoke of the Confluence in cryptic terms, describing it as a nexus of energy where the worlds of the living and the dead intertwined. It was there that Ethan would find the final key to sealing the entity away, once and for all.
