Chapter 8 - The Forgotten Star

The trip to the Asteria library took several weeks. Each day is full of uncertainty as we journey deeper into the Azure Expanse, a vast desert stretching out without boundaries. Whether its cobalt sands glow sobbing or the eternal purple sky, Ryn guides his ships through dangerous magnetic storms that have baffled major explorers for centuries. Even if you have experience They are often forced to wait until a storm occurs. The ship's systems sobbed against the storm's chaotic energy, but Kael, Lyara, and Rin knew the library was lost. More lost than ever

When the gleaming tower of the library appears on the horizon It was like an optical illusion – a star-shaped structure made entirely of translucent crystal. semi-buried in the ground The building seemed to tower into the sky. With five towers peeling off the purple hue above. It was an impossible structure, strange and old, but it looked familiar. It was as if Kael had seen it in his dreams long ago. The open door didn't make me feel like this place was hardly important. I'm waiting

When I pause or there is no sunlight There will be a loud noise. The wind blows loudly, sending out a whisper that seems to reflect the depth of the sand. The ship's thrusters went off with a soft groan, and Kael emerged first, his feet planted on the soft, glistening sand. As he headed towards the entrance, Lyara followed him with admiration and determination. Ryn stayed aboard, watching Kael, wondering if the ladino's anxiety was already beginning to foreshadow the troubles that lay ahead.

The library is an amazing sight. There is no interior decoration. Because the walls were covered with elegant crystal platelets. Each head of the orb buzzed with energy. They are memory nuclei – glowing orbs that hold information from the time before the collapse. Before the sky is sealed These orbs contain lost knowledge about humanity's past. Preserved and protected by an unknown force, Kael's heart skipped a beat as he ran his hand over one of the plates. Feel the slight pulse of the crystal ball.

"Issoe… Incredible," Lyara muttered with obvious excitement. "Biblioteca de Asteria is the repository of all knowledge. untouched by the ravages of time It was before the fall. It is a record of everything we know about him."

Kael looked back. Feeling admiration mixed with favor This is the place where everything will finally be revealed. Ever since he can remember Kael felt a connection to the sky. The desire to understand the stars has been hidden from humanity for centuries. But the divine relics that form the fabric of the universe have always escaped at the heart of this library. The answer seems within reach.

They moved deeper into the center of the library. Head towards the large glowing orb that glows in the center of the room. With a golden light shining throughout the surrounding area. The orb pulsed as if it were still alive. There was something familiar about Nisso. It was something Kael couldn't pinpoint. Without thinking, he stepped forward and touched the crystal ball.

As soon as their fingers touched The world around him seemed to shake. The entire library piscou and life orb ganhou two holographic maps of heaven exploded above them. It revealed a starry heaven unlike anything Kael had ever seen before. The constellations shine in vibrant patterns. Their lights illuminated a world that had long since shrunken. Kael joined in as the projection fell silent and a deep voice reverberated into the room.

"A voice seeking the truth of a meager paradise. Bear witness to its history."

Or is it filled with expectations? When the stars shot above them Then the map changed. The spot of light suddenly expanded and became something much more frightening. The figure of the Watcher appeared – a giant creature of pure power. Their enormous shapes stretched far beyond the clouds. causing everything below to shift slightly. His figure was incomprehensible. Vast and supernatural His body was filled with alien and cosmic energy.

"Or what are they?" Ryn sobbed. You can hardly avert your eyes from the projection.

Lyara's voice was firm, but also admiring. "They are not gods… They are something much better. They are the Watchers – the heavenly rulers who control the universe."

The projection shows humanity in hopeless conflict with the Watchers, an early civilization. Armed with primitive weapons and basic starships. Unable to match the immense power of these creatures, the Watchers control the universe at will. Using his power over the heavens to enslave the entire world. As history unfolded, Kael saw something remarkable: humans reacted. They didn't give up – they raised Aetherlock.

The Aetherlock is an ancient device with powers beyond imagination. Constructed from heavily outlined pieces of a celestial artifact, when the Aetherlock is activated, It would create an intense energy pulse that would cut the two Watchers out of the sky. and trapped them behind a curtain of purple snow. The heavens were sealed and the stars were hidden forever.

"The fall is not a failure of humanity. But it is the greatest victory," he said. "To protect the world. The sky thus shrank and the observers went to sleep, far from their sight."

Kael's mind hesitated. The Collapse – always saying it was a disaster. The disaster that destroyed the world and causing humanity to struggle for survival. But now the truth has been revealed. The fall is not to defeat them. It's a victory. Humanity wins over the Watchers, imprisoning them in a way that prevents them from returning. The sun is not lost – it is hidden and sealed to keep it safe.

while the map moves more than once A star also pulsated in the center of the projection. He grew up and became brighter. It was almost like he was calling Kael. The voice spoke again:

"As of the day it fades away The onlookers were excited. It is precisely the choice: restore paradise or guarantee your decay forever."

Kael cambaleou for the back or chest strap. The weight of the revelation was almost unbearable. A dream that had fascinated them for so long - the whisper of the stars. Or something else about the snow - hardly a dream at all, Eram, a memory, a piece of something deep within Dele, something linked to Aetherlock.

"We can't unlock the sky," Lyara said softly, her voice strained. "If we pretend that the vigilante group will come back. The world will not escape his wrath."

Kael felt sick to his stomach. He always wondered why he was chosen today. Why does he attract stars? Now you know He didn't just provide the sky. But he is the key to unlocking it.

Rin's voice broke the silence. "What now? Should we choose?

Lyara assentiu slowly, "Zim, if we find the remaining pieces of the Aetherlock. We will have the power to build that school. But it is a school that could put all the hair we work with at risk."

Kael olhou for or the gilded orb or the weight of his fate pressed-o The stars are a symbol of hope. Now it turned out to be a bad omen. He can be revived or heavenly. Knowing what Tracer can do? Or should the world remain in eternal darkness, locked in a haze?

The decision will not be his alone. But Kael knows he doesn't understand that the future will force him to choose the fate of heaven – and the fate of humanity itself.
