Chapter 6: **The Final Stand**
The group infiltrated The Luminary's central hub, a towering structure that pulsed with an eerie blue light. Inside, they found the temporal core—a swirling vortex of energy that distorted reality around it.
As they worked to shut it down, the Eclipsed began to manifest fully. The room darkened, and the air grew thick with dread. One of the creatures emerged from the shadows, its body a horrifying amalgamation of twisted limbs and glowing eyes.
Victor and Nadia fought to hold it off while Eli approached the core. "I can stop this," he said. "But I won't come back."
"No!" Lena cried, but it was too late. Eli stepped into the core, his body dissolving into light. The vortex collapsed, and the Eclipsed let out an unearthly scream as they were pulled back into the void.
