Returning to his quarters, he lay on his bed, still feeling the reverberations of the artifact's energy inside him.
A faint pain pulsed within, but he ignored it.
For him, this new power would make him even stronger in the missions to come, even if it came at the cost of occasional pain.
With a faint smile, Ethan stared at the ceiling, thinking of the days ahead.
He knew now he held a power unknown to anyone else.
In his mind, Elyndor chuckled softly, feeling satisfied that he had finally helped Ethan reach a higher potential.
The silent night eventually lulled Ethan to sleep, with newfound strength pulsing within him, preparing him for far greater adventures.
The next morning, as the sun began to cast light on the peak of the Deira Temple, the silence was broken by the light footsteps of Zahir, hastily making his way to Sir Alderic's quarters.
