**Chapter 3: The Journey Begins**
With Thalos as her guide, Lina set out on her quest, venturing into the unknown. Along the way, she befriended a mischievous sprite named Pip, who could manipulate shadows, and a noble phoenix named Solara, whose flames could heal and purify.
Their journey was fraught with peril—enchanted traps, shadow beasts, and illusions designed to turn them against each other. Yet, through courage, wit, and unwavering hope, they pressed forward.
As they delved deeper into the Labyrinth of Echoes, Lina discovered her own latent abilities—she could sense the heartbeat of the realm, communicate with the spirits of nature, and even glimpse flashes of the future. Each step brought her closer to understanding her true power and the weight of her destiny.
