Lyra's eyes locked onto Ryker. "How do we find the traitor?"
Ryker's expression turned grim. "We need to retrace our steps, see who's been feeding information to the Shadow Weavers."
Kael's voice was laced with pain. "I thought I knew my sister, but...I don't know what to believe."
Lyra's heart went out to Kael. "We'll uncover the truth, together."
_As they investigated, they discovered a hidden message_
"Meet me at the old windmill on the outskirts. Come alone." - Anonymous
_Ryker's Instincts_
Ryker's eyes narrowed. "This smells like a trap."
Lyra's determination hardened. "We can't ignore it. We need answers."
Kael nodded. "I'll go. If it's a trap, I'll take the risk."
Lyra's protest was silenced by Kael's resolute gaze.
_The Windmill Meeting_
Kael approached the abandoned windmill, his senses on high alert.
A figure emerged from the shadows.
"Kael," the figure whispered. "I've been waiting."
Kael's eyes widened. "Astrid? My sister?"
Astrid's smile was tinged with sadness. "I'm sorry, Kael. I had to deceive you. The Shadow Weavers...they have our family."
Kael's world shattered. "What do you mean?"
