Wil, however, refused to be swayed by the prevailing skepticism. Determination etched across his face. He rose from his chair with a resolute expression. His emerald green eyes fixed upon the Enchantrian map, which shimmered with a faint glow, projecting from the crystal table before them.

As she approached the castle, Cithara couldn't help but be captivated by its grandeur. The towering turrets and intricate architecture seemed to beckon her closer, promising answers to the mysteries that plagued her mind.
Suddenly, as if guided by an unseen force, Cithara found herself on a collision course with a mysterious man. He was cloaked in grey, his presence shrouded in an aura of intrigue.
