As they continued their investigations, Nile's visions grew more frequent and detailed. He saw glimpses of the past, the betrayal that shattered the Vanguard, and hints of a dark power that sought to manipulate the present.
One night, while meditating with the crystal, Nile was struck by a powerful vision. He saw a figure cloaked in shadows, their face obscured, orchestrating the downfall of the ancient order. The betrayer's aura felt disturbingly familiar.

He gathered the team and shared his vision. "We need to be careful. Trust no one outside this room until we know more. We have to root out the betrayer before they can strike again."
Ava clenched her fists. "We'll find them. They won't destroy us like they did the Vanguard."
