The Oracle's words hung in the air like a challenge. Kael felt a surge of excitement mixed with fear. What did it mean to wield the fabric of reality?
Lyra's eyes were fixed on the Oracle, her expression intense. "What do you mean, Oracle?" she asked. "How can Kael possibly wield such power?"
The Oracle's eyes seemed to bore into Kael's soul. "The Book of Shadows holds the key," she said. "It is a book of ancient knowledge, one that holds the secrets of the universe."
Kael's mind reeled as he tried to comprehend the Oracle's words. The Book of Shadows was more than just a simple book - it was a key to unlocking the very fabric of reality.
Thorne spoke up, his voice filled with a mixture of awe and trepidation. "But Oracle, the Book of Shadows is said to be cursed. Anyone who tries to read it will be driven mad."
The Oracle nodded, her eyes glinting with a fierce inner light. "Yes, the Book of Shadows is indeed cursed. But Kael is different. He has the potential to unlock its secrets and wield its power."
Kael felt a surge of determination. He was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, to unlock the secrets of the Book of Shadows and wield its power.
But as he looked at Lyra, he saw a hint of doubt in her eyes. Did she really believe that he could do this?
