A warm, golden light spilled out.
Beyond the threshold lay a room filled with ancient artifacts, dusty scrolls and forgotten relics.
Eunchae stepped inside, reverence washing over her. Priestess Akane followed.
"This chamber holds the Kaito clan's legacy."
Riki remained at the entrance, watchful.
Eunchae's gaze fell upon A magnificent sword, displayed on the wall. The intricate murals, depicting the
Kaito clan's history paints the surrounding. Her eyes eventually fell on a pedestal, supporting a leather-bound book.
"The Dragon Scroll's journal," Akane
whispered.
Eunchae's heart quickened.
"Father's notes?"
Akane nodded.
"Your father's research, Eunchae-sama. The key to unlocking the Dragon Scroll's secrets in cultivating."
As Eunchae reached for the journal, the air shifted. A hidden mechanism clicked.
The room began to transform.
Walls of dark wood slid apart, revealing
intricately carved panels.Soft, golden light emanated from the floor,
illuminating ancient symbols.The ceiling dissolved, unveiling a celestial map etched with constellations.
The air vibrated with an otherworldly energy. Shimmering mist swirled, revealing forgotten knowledge.
Soft chimes echoed, harmonizing the
universe.
The room's center became a sacred space, a magnificent dragon rose from the floor, its body coiled around a crystal pillar.Ancient artifacts aligned, forming a celestial compass.The Dragon Scroll's pedestal glowed, radiating an ethereal aura.
Eunchae stood at the heart of the transformation, the Dragon Scroll's secrets unfolding before her.
"Riki, you may rest now in your chamber,"Eunchae said, her voice soft with concern.
" I need to spend some time alone in this
room, understanding the Dragon Scroll's
secrets."
Riki's eyes met hers, a hint of understanding in their depths.
"You're wounded, I'II give you time to recover," Eunchae added.
Riki nodded, his expression stoic.
"Bow your head, Riki," Priestess Akane
intervened. "Let the brothers assist you to your chambers.'
Two monks, clad in simple robes, approached Riki.
With a quiet bow, Riki allowed the monks to support him. As they led him away, Eunchae watched, ensuring he was taken care of.
Priestess Akane remained, her eyes warm.
"Call if you need anything, Eunchae-sama."
With a gentle nod, Akane followed the monks, leaving Eunchae alone.
The door slid shut, enveloping Eunchae in silence.
The Dragon Scroll's secrets awaited.
Alone in the transformed room,
Eunchae's gaze returned to the Dragon Scroll.
She gently unrolled the scroll, revealing
intricate calligraphy and symbols. As she touched the parchment, visions flooded her mind, ancient rituals to balance yin and yang,Celestial harmonies governing the universe and forgotten arts to harness energy. As if it was there all along.
Eunchae's focus sharpened, absorbing the knowledge.Hours passed, the room's soft glow illuminating her intense study.
Priestess Akane returned, bearing a simple meal.
