Avora and Egan journeyed far beyond the kingdom's borders, following Esmira's directions deep into uncharted lands. They traveled through dense forests and across misty valleys, their path lit only by the faint glow of Aveloria's amulet, a gift from her mother. As they ventured further, shadows grew thicker, and an eerie silence blanketed the land.
One evening, they reached a peculiar fog-covered valley, where an unexpected sight awaited: towering obsidian gates, adorned with carvings of twisted vines and hidden creatures. The air crackled with a strange energy, and Avora felt the amulet pulse against her chest. With a deep breath, they stepped through the gates and found themselves in the Kingdom of Umbra, a realm of eternal twilight.
Umbra was unlike any place they had ever seen. Its landscape was cloaked in shades of dark purples and silvers, and the people moved like shadows, whispering in low voices. Avora quickly noticed how the kingdom's inhabitants eyed her glowing amulet, their faces mixed with wonder and caution.
In the heart of Umbra, they met Princess Morwen, a figure of haunting beauty and somber grace. Morwen's dark eyes met Avora, as if recognizing her instantly.
