"The lost library of Eldarath."Marcus's gaze swept the room, his expression cautious. "We need to be careful. We don't know what kind of traps or guardians might be protecting this place."Sophia nodded, her focus already shifting to the shelves. "We'll proceed with caution.

Sophia's fingers danced across the spines, her heart racing with excitement.Suddenly, Marcus's voice cut through the stillness. "Sophia, look at this."He stood before a pedestal, upon which rested a single, leather-bound tome. The cover was embossed with an intricate symbol that seemed to shimmer with an inner light."This is it," Sophia whispered, her eyes locked on the symbol.
