Chapter 2: The Letter
Elena stood frozen, staring at the map. The strange markings on it led to the catacombs beneath the city—a place that had been sealed off long ago. There was no turning back. The answers she had always been searching for were right below her feet.
With the map in hand, she made her way into the dark catacombs. The air was thick with dust and the smell of old stone. Each step felt heavy, as if the walls were closing in around her. The further she went, the colder it became, and a strange sense of being watched crept over her.
The map led her to a hidden chamber. Inside, there was a stone pedestal bathed in an eerie light. On the pedestal lay an old book, its cover worn and ancient. The moment Elena touched it, the room seemed to shift. A loud hum filled the air, and the shadows in the room seemed to come alive.
Elena opened the book, and images of a lost city filled her mind. A city long forgotten, destroyed by time, but its power still lingered. It was as though the book had unlocked something deep within her—memories of a place she had never been, yet somehow knew.
Before she could fully understand what was happening, the ground beneath her shook. The echoes of the lost realm were calling, and Elena realized that she had been chosen to uncover its secrets.
