Lost Memories

The Trial of Pyraxis

Weeks passed by, and i was getting stronger every minute, i was glad I had friends who accompanied me and always made me learn something in this world. While we're talking, We saw yuelin with a man, so we walked towards them and hid under the bushes so we wouldn't get caught eavesdropping.

"Eleftheria is cursed. She's sick because of a curse, and she's getting weaker and weaker each day. She needs the elyria's emberstone now." the mysterious man replied with a serious face.

"Oh our poor god..." Yuelin replied with a heartfelt voice and down face. While we heard this, castilan saw a spider, so she screamed. Both of them heard it, and we tried to run, but yuelin cast a spell on us to freeze us and walked towards us.

"Why are you eavesdropping?"
"We're just confused because you guys sounded serious, and we're curious about that man." Caspian said with a soft tone.

"Oh... I'm Xvaril, I'm technically the top 2 strongest here, and I'm also taking of Eleftheria, our god."

Yuelin's eyes narrowed, her gaze piercing. "You shouldn't be here. This is none of your concern."

Vespera, unfrozen by Yuelin's spell, stepped forward. "We didn't mean to intrude. We're worried about Eleftheria."

Xvaril's expression softened slightly. "I see. You're concerned about your goddess."

Castilan, still shaken by the spider encounter, whispered, "Is she really going to die?"

Yuelin sighed. "Yes, because the curse is draining her powers. Without the elyria's emberstone, she'll... fade."

Caspian's brow furrowed. "What about we go look for it? Like, i mean, we did volunteer to look for it after we got strong."

Xvaril "Well... i gathered some information about it, and the emberstone is not from here because it's on another planet called Pyraxis, and it's very dangerous."

Me and the twins were sweating because of how serious looking was him, and thinking about the emberstone was on a planet that's hard to obtain.

Yuelin's eyes locked on me. "Since I allowed you to live here, you'll need to retrieve the emberstone from the Heartfire Temple. But be warned, the journey is treacherous."

I took a steadying breath, looking at Caspian and Castilan beside me. They nodded in silent agreement, their expressions mirroring my determination. Whatever lay on Pyraxis, we would face it together.

"We’ll do it," I said firmly, my voice unwavering. "Tell us everything we need to know about Pyraxis and the Heartfire Temple."

Xvaril glanced at Yuelin, his eyes filled with hesitation before he finally spoke. "Pyraxis is not like Freedom. It's a realm ruled by fire and chaos, inhabited by beasts drawn to power. The Heartfire Temple is guarded by creatures known as the Ember Sentinels, beings that only allow the worthy to enter."

Yuelin's expression softened for the first time, a hint of sympathy breaking through her usual stern demeanor. "Once you enter Pyraxis, your powers will be tested. The emberstone is hidden deep within the temple's core. Few have ever returned from there."

Caspian placed a steady hand on my shoulder. "We’ll be ready. We've trained for this, and together, we’ll bring the emberstone back."

Castilan, despite her earlier fear, gave a determined nod. "No one deserves to suffer, especially not our goddess."

With our minds made up, Yuelin instructed us on how to reach the portal to Pyraxis. The air around us was charged with tension and unspoken fears, but we set out without a word, our resolve unwavering.
