Chapter 116: Echoes of the Past

A mysterious artifact known as the "Chrono Mirror" appears in the Knights' Citadel seemingly out of nowhere. The Chrono Mirror has the ability to show glimpses of the past and even transport people to historical moments in the realms.

Lysander and the Black Knight Squadron are intrigued by the artifact and its potential to uncover forgotten histories and lost knowledge. They decide to use the Chrono Mirror responsibly, being cautious of its power and the potential consequences of meddling with the past.

As they experiment with the Chrono Mirror, Lysander accidentally triggers an ancient spell inscribed on the artifact, causing a temporal anomaly. The Knights find themselves transported to a pivotal moment in history—the era of the Great Celestial War, a conflict that took place centuries ago.

In this past, they witness the heroic deeds and sacrifices of legendary knights and valiant warriors who fought to protect the realms from a dark and ancient threat. They also encounter a figure shrouded in mystery—a legendary knight known as "The Silver Phoenix."

The Silver Phoenix was said to possess unmatched skill and an otherworldly sword, rumored to hold the power of celestial flames. But before the Knights can learn more, they are forced to return to their own time due to the unstable nature of the Chrono Mirror.

Back in the present, Lysander and the Black Knight Squadron are determined to learn more about the Great Celestial War and the enigmatic Silver Phoenix. They study ancient texts, consult with scholars, and visit historical sites to piece together the events of the past.

They discover that the Great Celestial War was a cataclysmic battle between celestial beings and dark forces that threatened to consume the realms in eternal darkness. The Silver Phoenix was a pivotal figure in rallying the realms' defenders and turning the tide of the war.

As they delve deeper into the history, they realize that the Silver Phoenix's legacy has been largely forgotten over time. His name and deeds have become myths and legends, with little known about his fate after the war's end.

Lysander becomes fixated on finding the truth behind the Silver Phoenix's fate. He feels a strange connection to this figure from the past, as if their destinies are intertwined.

Through their investigations, they uncover clues that lead them to a hidden and ancient shrine—a resting place dedicated to the Silver Phoenix. Inside the shrine, they find an ancient journal, detailing the Silver Phoenix's final moments and his selfless sacrifice to seal away the dark forces that threatened the realms.

As Lysander reads the journal, he feels a surge of emotion and understanding. He realizes that the Silver Phoenix's spirit lives on, and his legacy of courage and sacrifice continues through knights like himself and the Black Knight Squadron.

In a poignant moment, Lysander and the Knights honor the memory of the Silver Phoenix, vowing to carry on his legacy and protect the realms just as he did.
