The bustling city of Serpent's Cross hummed with anticipation as scholars and mages worked tirelessly on the final touches of the innovative aircraft known as skylances. These majestic flying vessels, with their gleaming metal frames and intricate designs, were poised to revolutionize travel and warfare in Evermore. But there was one crucial missing piece: a powerful energy source that could propel the skylances to unimaginable heights.

Eadric Lightbringer, now the Duke of Ravenhold and a respected figure in the realm, understood the urgent need for a stronger power source. With his unwavering determination, he gathered a small group of skilled adventurers, including mages well-versed in celestial magic, to embark on a perilous quest to obtain the elusive Fusion Stones.

Deep in the heart of the treacherous mountains that encircled Evermore, there existed hidden caves said to be the resting place of the celestial stones. Legends whispered of their unlimited power and the blessings they bestowed upon those who wielded them. It was within these hidden chambers that Eadric believed they would find the key to completing the skylances.

As Eadric's group ventured into the rugged terrain, the mountains loomed tall and foreboding, their peaks disappearing into the clouds. The air grew thin, and the icy winds howled through the rocky crags, testing the mettle of the adventurers. Each step was taken with caution, as the treacherous paths threatened to swallow them whole.

Guided by ancient maps and the whispers of forgotten tales, Eadric and his companions navigated the labyrinthine caves, their torches flickering as they delved deeper into the earth. The caves echoed with the eerie whispers of forgotten secrets and the unseen magic that resonated within the very stone.

In the depths of the caverns, they encountered numerous challenges, from treacherous pitfalls to mystical guardians that tested their skill and resolve. Yet, they pressed on, driven by their unwavering belief in the importance of their mission and the hope it held for a brighter future.

Finally, after days of arduous exploration, they stumbled upon a chamber bathed in an ethereal glow. Within it stood a pedestal, adorned with celestial symbols, upon which rested the Fusion Stones. Their brilliance was awe-inspiring, each stone pulsating with raw power, as if a fragment of the heavens had been captured within.

Eadric approached the pedestal with reverence, his hand outstretched, and as he made contact with the stones, a surge of celestial energy coursed through his veins. He could feel the unlimited potential contained within these magical rocks, their power ready to be harnessed for the greater good.

Moments later, a strange energy twirled around the ominous room as four figures started to appear with the sparks and sprites conjoining with one another. There they stood, four ethereal mages. They had a transparency to them, they would be the protectors of Evermore's celestial powers. They all spoke in unison.

Celestial Mages: Eadric Lightbringer, you come here to seek power, we helped guide you here. Within these stones lie the unwavering power of space and time. You must ensure that these fusion stones do not become the inventory of a devilish adversary.
