Chapter 20:
As they walked through the library, the orbs began to glow brighter, illuminating the path ahead. Elyria saw stories of ancient civilizations, of heroes and villains, of love and loss. She saw the history of her own people, their struggles and triumphs, their moments of glory and darkness.
