Around the fire, the man revealed the true nature of the Heartstone. “It is said to grant eternal life, but that is a myth,” he explained. “What it truly holds is the power to reshape reality itself. The Heartstone draws from the intentions of those who seek it—if you are pure, it will heal and bring prosperity; if you are corrupt, it will destroy.”
The revelation left the siblings stunned. The stakes were higher than they could have imagined. But why now? Why had their teacher waited so long to tell them? “Because you were not ready,” he answered as if reading their minds. “Your hearts were filled with anger, and sorrow, and fear. You had to learn, to grow, to love, and to lead. Only now can you truly understand what must be done.”
