Mike and Seraphina exchanged glances, their hearts racing at the mysterious voice echoing within the temple. The previously silent atmosphere was now thick with tension, pressing down on them.
Mike took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
"What do you mean by consequences?" he asked firmly, his voice reverberating in the stillness of the temple.
The voice replied, low and authoritative, "The Soul Mirror is a powerful artifact, capable of bringing destruction or rebirth. However, to reveal its full power, a sacrifice is required."
Seraphina's eyes widened. "Sacrifice? What kind of sacrifice?"
"Only those willing to relinquish a part of themselves can control its true power," the voice explained. "Memories, precious bonds, or even fragments of your own soul."
Mike clenched his jaw, gripping his sword tighter. "Sacrifice…"
Seraphina looked at Mike with concern. "We've come this far, but what are we willing to sacrifice?"
