The morning mist clung to the ground as Aldric and his companions pressed deeper into the ancient wilderness. The forest, thick with shadow and magic, led them to a forgotten stone circle where the veil between worlds grew thin. There, confronted by spirits of the old world, Aldric is forced to embrace the untamed power within him—magic long denied and feared. As he channels the energy to guide the spirits back to peace, he proves his worth but realizes this trial is only the beginning. The journey ahead will test not just their strength, but their very souls.
