Ancient tome in hand, Nyx, Aric, Magnus, and Elara returned to Sylvaris, determined to seek more guidance from the seer, Isolde. The eerie forest seemed to whisper secrets as they made their way back to the clearing where they had first encountered her.

However, as they approached the familiar spot, a sense of unease washed over them. The clearing was eerily silent, the fire long extinguished and the pot overturned. There was no sign of isolde.

"Something’s wrong," Aric said, his hand instinctively going to his sword.

They searched the area, and Magnus found what they feared most: Isolde's lifeless body lying amidst the grass, her eyes closed as if in peaceful slumber. Nyx knelt beside her, checking for any signs of life, but it was clear she had passed.

"She’s gone," Nyx whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "But how? We just saw her."

Elara noticed a strange amulet clutched in isolde's hand, glowing faintly. "This must be important," she said, carefully prying it from the seer’s grasp. As she did, a soft voice filled the air, resonating within their minds.

"Do not grieve, my children. My time was limited, but my spirit remains to guide you."

They looked around, trying to locate the source of the voice, but it seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once.

"Isolde?" Magnus asked, his voice tinged with hope.

"Yes," the voice responded. "I knew my end was near, but I had to warn you. The true prophecy is more dire than you can imagine. The darkness you must face is not just in the world, but within yourselves. Go and conquer the darkness my children"

The trio reached back to the guild feeling sorrow, the guild master now knew about who they actually were because of mira but he was willing to keep their identity a secret the trio kept doing the tasks they were assigned to and many years passed.

Nyx now 16 has achieved SS+ rank in the adventurers guild and is serving under the direct command of the king as a knight with her companions, Kyros the rogue boy they saved accompanied them to pay the debt.

One fine morning Nyx accompanied by Aric, Magnus and Kyros were patrolling in the kingdom an elven elder came and handed them a beautifully crafted scroll, sealed with an ornate wax emblem depicting the three moons, arrived in their chambers one evening. The message inside, written in elegant elven script, read:

"To the esteemed Nyx and her brave companions,

By the decree of the High Council of Sylvaris and the gracious invitation of Queen Elowen, you are hereby invited to attend the Festival of Luminara. Your presence is requested at the Moonlit Glade at twilight on the eve of the festival.

May the light of the moons guide you.

Sincerely,
Eldarion, Keeper of Traditions"

"What is the festival of Luminara? "They said.
" The Festival of Luminara, an ancient elven celebration, occurs once every century, marking a rare convergence of the three moons of Sylvaris. The elves believe that during this celestial event, the barriers between the mortal realm and the spirit world are at their weakest, allowing for communion with ancestors and the infusion of magical energies."
"Oh, thank you so much for the invitation we would definitely come. "

In the evening as they made their way to the Moonlit Glade, the forest seemed to come alive with anticipation. Luminescent flowers bloomed along their path, and the air was filled with the soft, melodic hum of elven chants. The trees, ancient and towering, seemed to part gracefully to allow them passage.

Upon reaching the glade, they were greeted by a breathtaking sight. Elves of all ages adorned in shimmering, ethereal garments danced gracefully under the light of the three moons. The air was filled with the scent of exotic blossoms and the sound of delicate, otherworldly music played on harps and flutes.
