Kael and his friends followed Zorvath as he led them to the source of the noise. They walked through the winding corridors of the tower, their hearts pounding with excitement and a hint of fear.
As they walked, Kael couldn't help but feel that something was off. The noise had sounded like shattering glass, but he couldn't see any signs of damage or destruction.
Finally, they arrived at a large wooden door that seemed to lead to the heart of the tower. Zorvath pushed the door open, and Kael and his friends stepped through it.
On the other side of the door, they found themselves in a large, dimly lit chamber. The room was filled with rows of shelves, each one lined with strange and exotic artifacts.
But it was what lay at the center of the room that caught their attention. A large, crystal orb sat on a pedestal, surrounded by a halo of light. The orb seemed to be pulsing with energy, and Kael could feel its power calling to him.
"What is this?" Kael asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Zorvath's eyes narrowed, his face serious.
"This is the Heart of El'goroth," he said. "It is a powerful artifact that holds the key to unlocking the secrets of the ancient magic."
Kael's eyes widened, his heart pounding with excitement. He had heard of the Heart of El'goroth, but he had never thought that he would actually see it.
But as he reached out to touch the orb, he felt a sudden surge of energy. The orb began to glow even brighter, and Kael could feel its power coursing through his veins.
"What's happening?" Eira asked, her voice filled with concern.
Zorvath's eyes narrowed, his face serious.
"I don't know," he said. "But I think that Kael may have triggered a magical response. We need to get him away from the orb before it's too late."
But it was too late. The orb's energy had already begun to overwhelm Kael, and he could feel himself being drawn into its power.
