Chapter 4: The Awakening
As Elena tried to make sense of the vision, a voice echoed through the chamber, so soft she almost didn't hear it. "You have awakened the realm," it whispered.
Elena spun around, but there was no one there. The air was thick with magic, and the walls seemed to pulse with an ancient energy. She could feel the power of the book, as if it was alive and trying to communicate with her.
The voice spoke again. "The echoes of the lost realm are calling. You are the key."
A sudden realization hit Elena. The realm she had been searching for wasn't just a myth—it was real. The book was a gateway, and she had unlocked it. The echoes were the voices of those who had lived in the lost city, trapped in time.
But there was something darker at play. Someone else was after the book, someone who would stop at nothing to control the realm's power. Elena knew she had to protect it. She couldn't let it fall into the wrong hands.
