When Jack regained consciousness, he found himself lying on the cold floor of the chamber, his body exhausted and aching. The strange gravitational distortions were gone, and the air felt normal again. The chamber, once filled with energy and danger, was now eerily silent.Rhea was nowhere to be seen.Jack slowly rose to his feet, his mind reeling from everything that had happened. The power he had just unleashed, the battle against the impossible—everything had changed. He had stopped Hesta, at least for now, but the cost had been high.He had destroyed the rift, but the truth about his parents and the forces they had uncovered still haunted him. What was it they had been working on? What had they discovered about this ancient force that had been hidden for so long?And more importantly, what would happen now? Hesta was far from finished. This was only the beginning.As Jack stood in the ruins of the chamber, a new sense of purpose filled him. He had stopped the immediate threat, but there was still much to be done. The world was changing, and he would be ready.He had already taken the first step. The rest of the journey was waiting.
