Ashes Whisper

Chapter 25 : Assumption of Fate

As they stepped inside, the air was thick and the walls were adorned with intricate hieroglyphics that seemed to pulse with a life of their own.

inside the Tomb of Rames, Elara was hit by an intense pain in her head. She stumbled back, clutching at her temples as the pain pulsed through her skull. It was as if a thousand voices were speaking at once, all clamoring for her attention.

Zarek rushed to her side, concern etched on his face. "Elara, are you all right?"

Elara trying to push through the pain. "I...I'll be fine," she managed to say. "It's just...there's something in this place, something strange."

As Elara opened her eyes, Zarek couldn't help but notice the drastic change of her eyes color. Instead of the usual bright blue, now a deep shade of amber. The color seemed to pulsate and glow, as if something was stirring inside her.

Zarek looked at her with concern. "Elara, what's happening to you?"

Elara didn't answer, instead she closed her eyes again and focused on the strange sensation that was consuming her. It was as if the power of the tomb was flowing through her, infusing her with its energy?

Khai's eyes observing the intricate hieroglyphics etched on the walls of the tomb. "Verily, these markings speak of the Ashes Whisper and how its eyes turn to a shade of amber. It is said that with this transformation, one can perceive the souls of the departed."

Elara's eyes widened in wonder as she listened to Khai's words. She never imagined that they would be so profound. The pain in her head began to dissipate, replaced by a sense of clarity and purpose.

"I see.... that the power of Ashes Whisper... you can see the soul of the dead" said Samael

Elara nodded in agreement, still amazed by the power she possessed. She couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility weighing heavily on her shoulders.

"Yes, but with this power comes great responsibility," she said softly. "I must use it wisely, for the greater good."

Together, the group pressed on, deeper into the tomb, driven by a shared sense of curiosity and wonder. They had no idea what mysteries lay ahead, but they were eager to uncover the secrets of the past and unlock the knowledge of the ancients.

After that, they finally found Sarcophagi of Emperor, by the ability of Ashes Whisper, when Elara touching, four of them drifted into unconsciousness

In their dream, Elara and her companions saw an ancient scene unfold before them. Emperor Rames and Mirage stood before them, with Mirage in his human form. The air around them hummed with power and a sense of importance.

Emperor Rames spoke to Mirage with a commanding tone, "Mirage, it is your sacred duty to protect this land and its treasures. I implore you, do not let anyone take the Crystal Flower of the Desert. Those artifacts play a crucial role in the future of our people."

Mirage, with a solemn nod, replied, "As you wish, my lord. I will do everything in my power to protect these artifacts and our land." His eyes glowed with a fierce determination and a deep sense of loyalty to his duty.

Emperor Rames turned to Elara and her companions and greeted them warmly. "Ashes Whisper, welcome. I see that you have stumbled upon a memory of the past. I assume that you are from the future?" he said, his voice deep and resonant.

Elara was taken aback by the ancient ruler's perceptiveness. "Yes, my lord. We are from a time far beyond yours," she replied, her voice filled with respect and deference.

Emperor Rames regarded the group with a wise and knowing expression. "I believe the future so -called your moment is already doomed," he said, his voice heavy with sorrow. "This brutal world of never-ending war, where death and destruction reign...our world grows tired."
