Determined to uncover the truth behind the mercenaries' intentions, Elysia sought the aid of an old friend, Faelin, a wise and reclusive sage known for his vast knowledge of ancient texts. Faelin resided in the heart of Eldoria, within the Hidden Library—a place accessible only to those with pure intentions.
Elysia knocked on the towering doors of the library, waiting anxiously for them to creak open. Faelin emerged, his long silver beard flowing like a waterfall, and greeted her with a warm smile.
"Elysia, my dear friend, what brings you to my humble abode?" Faelin asked, his voice resonating with ancient wisdom.
"Faelin, I've heard rumors of mercenaries seeking the Enchanter's Blade. I fear they may intend to use its power for destructive purposes," Elysia explained, her eyes filled with concern.
Faelin's expression grew somber. "Indeed, the Enchanter's Blade possesses immense power. If it falls into the wrong hands, chaos will surely follow. Come, let us delve into the ancient tomes of the Hidden Library and uncover the truth."
Together, they delved into the library's vast collection, deciphering cryptic texts, and examining faded illustrations. Hours turned into days as they pieced together fragments of history, following a trail of clues that led them deeper into the realm's forgotten lore.
