Traveling to the city of Eternal Twilight feels like stepping onto the threshold of a forgotten dream. Ryan navigates the thick gulf of Starlance, which cuts through the air like a ship cutting a path to a forgotten world. The purple mist grew thicker with each passing hour. Turning everything below into a haze His hand gripped the controller tighter than normal. His usual steady confidence was replaced by unease at the unknown adventures. Jagged peaks rising from the barren plains looked like ancient bones. Half of which has been buried over time.
Kael stood by the watchtower. Staring into the mist as his thoughts raced. The volume in his bag vibrated gently, seeming to detect his every move. The whispers and strange hidden voices became louder and louder in his heart. He couldn't shake the feeling that they were leading him to this place. He still didn't know what it all was. But he felt bad that it would change everything he was about to discover in the city.
Finally, the ship made it through the fog. And the city in front of them rose from the haze like a hallucination from another world. City of Eternal Dusk It was everything the legend promised and more. The tower was made from simple black obsidian. Glittering under the quiet light There is never a day when the roads are dark. Like a racing pulse Covering the whole city Lined with shimmering crystal paths Shining an eerie light into the air It's not at night. It's something in between. A place frozen in time untouched by the world beyond its walls.
Ryn descended onto the courtyard at Starlance, and as he sailed alone, Lyara stood beside him, her eyes half-closed. "Impossible," she muttered downstairs. Her eyes scanned the entire structure. "These buildings… Older than the fall They shouldn't be De Pe.
Kael looked around for her, confusion in his voice. "Did you see the snow kept them intact?"
"Perhaps," she replied, still observing without credit. "But there is something strange about this place. Some things don't hit.
Before Kael could answer, they were greeted by a group of people – silent, wearing purple robes. Their faces were hidden behind masks representing celestial bodies, stars, lua, constellations. It is well drafted. One of them stepped forward. Her voice echoed in a melody that caused a tingle to run down Kael's spine.
The "traveler" figure in a lower and more authoritative voice spoke. "You tread on a sacred place alone. A City of Eternal Twilight is a sacred place that is not disturbed by the chaos of the outside world. Declare your objectives
Kael felt troubled as he looked at them, but it was Lyara who stepped forward with a determined expression. She held the piece in front of her. "We are looking for knowledge. This part confuses us here. Can you help us understand what it is and why it has brought us here?"
As soon as the clothed figure saw the pieces, His body was tense. It was as if he had been attacked by an invisible force. Or the silence and murmur that pervaded the crowd as the cries rose in harmony. The main figure's voice was sharp as he spoke again.
"Or the fragments disturb or balance," he said, Tom, a strange mixture of mead and reverence. "Você traz perigo to our sanctuary."
The Ritual of Balance
They were taken through the city center. With various buildings Floating above them as they go The deeper the gig, the better. The feeling of frozen time only becomes more oppressive. The city seemed to remain in a state of eternal twilight. The glow was both soothing and unsettling. It's not just the sunshine. But it is also a happiness that this place was not intended to contain. Not in this world Still not enough
In the center of the city stood a large hall. The walls are surrounded by murals that tell a story that Kael doesn't quite understand. The purple dice sculpture slowly caught sight of the once starry sky. The wall paintings have faded with age. But it still oscillates in somber tones. In the middle of the hall was a tall obelisk. Clear as crystal and pulsing gently like a heartbeat.
"This is the essence of balance," their guide explained. As his voice reverberated in the vastness of space "This obelisk is a harmony between our world and the forgotten sky. The faster you hold it, the more it upsets the balance.
Kael felt guilt wash over him as he stared at the screen. Still throbbing in his pocket. He didn't mean to hurt - he just followed the beating and tried to understand. "I didn't mean to disturb anyone," he said in a soft voice. "We're just trying to understand what the vibrations really are, what the vibrations of the sky are."
The guide's eyes were hidden behind a mask. So you can see through him. "The stars were expelled as punishment for humanity's pride," the figure said in a tone of sorrow that Kael could almost hear. "Guessing is our bot. A sword that will protect us from their wrath.
Lyara's voice crackled through the heavy silence. "That's not true," she said, then continued walking with an uncertain expression on her face. "The stars are not confused. They are read into people. This "balance" you speak of is just a way to keep all of you in the dark.
The room was about to freeze in the blink of an eye. They clanged the figures back, their myke murmuring louder and louder. with disgust
"Disrespect!" Someone jumped, and the atmosphere suddenly felt like it was in danger.
The Revelation
The spending became unbearable. Kael felt the screen's pulse again. This time it was stronger. It was as if they were not trying to do anything in front of them. Bright lights exploded without warning. And the light roared into the room like an overwhelming energy. The obelisk, rebuilt according to the pulse of the city The swaying and shaking were countless. Sparks spread the seagull across the surface. and a loud rumbling sound echoed throughout the hall.
"Kael, stop!" Lyara's voice was urgent, but it was already too late. Cal didn't do anything. Then the sword went out to reveal itself. and pulled him closer to the obelisk. The connection is indisputable. Skåret lives on a mountain that makes hearts rage.
The leader stretched himself behind the screen. But when their hands touch They sighed and sighed again in pain. The mask cracked and revealed a black and hollow face with large eyes of fear. "Balance…" They whispered, almost unbearable. "It's okay if there's something up.
with a light sigh The screen was also attached to an obelisk. And in a short, terrifying moment, it pierced through the thinner section inside. Revealing a sky full of stars – stars that have been hidden for centuries. The audience laughed in collective deafness. For the first time, the sky was as it should be.
But when these things thicken The stars disappeared from sight. The obelisk was hit hard. This resulted in fragments scattered throughout the room. The glow of the city was extinguished. And after that, a depressing silence was seen.
The Cost of Knowledge
An immediate commotion arose. The clothed figure was lame. Unable to respond as Kael, Lyara, and Ryn rushed out.
Alright, Starlance was waiting for them. Lyara turned to Kael, a mixture of shock and fear on her face. "Screen," she said in a soft voice. "More than just a piece of Aetherlock, it's a knob. And it wakes up
Kael took the screen in his hand and felt the heat pulse against his skin. He doesn't understand everything. How or why? But the truth is indisputable. The Forgotten Sky was no longer satisfied with being forgotten.
As the Starlance lifted the seas, Kael returned to the city of Eternal Dusk, his glistening moves almost dull and alive. Once, through a gathering of energy, it almost became silent. A city, like the sky, is always changing slightly. And as they climbed up into the dusk, Kael realized that their journey had long since begun.
