Separate Ways
A few days passed in a blur of training, planning, and intense focus for Ethan. With each day, his anticipation grew, but so did his determination. He knew that the Tower still held many secrets he had yet to uncover.
When he wasn't on the training field honing his skills he buried himself in the library, surrounded by books. The murals he had seen in the maze haunted his thoughts, and the name "Ash Lord" echoed in his mind.
The library was pretty big. But even though Ethan had combed through countless volumes, hoping to uncover anything about the Lord of Ashes or the temple he had ventured into, he found nothing beside their locations.
He found references to the murals, ancient gods, forgotten realms, and powerful artifacts, but nothing that directly connected to the enigmatic figure he had encountered.
