As Aleni holds the candle to the flame,
A message from the ancient one came.
"Child of the sun, with power untold,
A task is yours, important to uphold.
An army of the undead will rise,
To bring chaos and destruction to our skies.
But with your strength and pure intent,
This fate you can surely prevent.
The symbol you seek, within you lies,
Use it well, and the army dies.
The warning is real, do not ignore,
Or your loved ones will suffer, that's for sure."
Aleni is startled by the message and the mention of her having power. She wonders what it means and if it's related to the warnings she received before. She tries to think of what the symbol could be and what it could do to stop an army of the undead.
As she continues to research, she finds out about an ancient symbol called the "Symbol of the Sun", which was said to hold immense power and was used to ward off evil spirits and undead creatures. Aleni realizes that this might be the symbol mentioned in the poem.
She starts to feel overwhelmed by the responsibility that has been placed upon her, but she also feels a sense of determination to fulfill her task and protect her loved ones. She decides to keep the warning and the poems to herself, not wanting to involve her friends and put them in danger.
Days pass and Aleni starts to feel like she's being watched. She starts to see shadows lurking in the corners of her vision, and she hears whispers in the wind. She tries to shake off the feeling, but it persists. One day, she receives a note in her locker that reads, "I know what you're up to. Meet me after school."
Aleni is hesitant but curious. She decides to meet the person, hoping to get some answers. After school, she goes to the meeting place mentioned in the note. She sees a figure in the distance, but it's too dark to make out who it is. As she approaches, she realizes that it's someone she never expected to see.
It's her older brother, the one who was sentenced to rehab. He looks different, his face is gaunt and his eyes are sunken. He tells her that he's been through a lot and that he's sorry for everything he's done. He hands her a piece of paper with a symbol drawn on it and tells her to keep it safe.
Aleni recognizes the symbol as the "Symbol of the Sun". She's confused and overwhelmed by her brother's sudden appearance and the symbol he gave her. She asks him what it means, but he doesn't give her a straight answer. He simply tells her to trust him and disappears into the night.
Aleni is left with more questions than answers. She wonders if her brother is involved in the warnings and the poems, and if he's somehow connected to the undead army. She decides to keep the symbol and the warning to herself, not wanting to involve her friends or family in the danger that lies ahead. She resolves to find out the truth and protect those she loves, no matter what it takes.
