Part 19: The Heart of Umbra
The radiant being, now freed from the curse, guided the guardians to the Heart of Umbra. A shimmering crystal nestled within a labyrinthine chamber.
"This is the source of our power," Élise said, her eyes aglow. "And the key to breaking The Archon's hold."
Sophia's hand reached out, connecting with the crystal. Ancestral energy surged through her.
"I see the prophecy unfolding," Sophia whispered. "Our bloodline's legacy, the restoration of balance."
Bastien's loup-garou form stood ready. "We'll protect the Heart, ensure The Archon's defeat."
Adèle's vampire strength faltered, her past haunting her. "But at what cost?"
Élise's gaze turned solemn. "The Heart's power comes with a price. Are you willing to pay it, Sophia?"
Sophia steeled herself. "I'll do what's necessary."
Suddenly, the chamber trembled. The Archon's voice boomed. "You'll never leave this realm."
