Months had passed since the fall of the dark sorcerer Malvyr.
Peace had finally returned to the land of Eldoria. The cities were rebuilding, trade routes were opening again, and the people slowly forgot the fear that had once spread across the kingdoms.
In the quiet village of Riverfall, life had become peaceful again.
Arian Stormblade stood near the riverbank one evening, watching the orange sunset reflect across the water.
For the first time in many months, the world felt calm.
Behind him, Draven approached quietly.
"You look like someone who misses adventure," Draven said with a slight smile.
Arian laughed softly.
"Maybe a little."
Draven crossed his arms.
"Be careful what you wish for."
Before Arian could answer, something strange happened.
A bright flash of light suddenly appeared in the sky above the distant mountains.
The light pulsed like a signal.
Then it disappeared.
Arian's expression changed immediately.
"Did you see that?"
Draven nodded.
"That wasn't lightning."
The ground beneath their feet vibrated slightly.
A strange wave of magical energy passed through the air.
Arian felt the same cold sensation he had once felt when the Forbidden Map awakened.
"This magic…" he whispered.
"It feels familiar."
At that moment, Lyra came running toward them from the village.
"Arian! Draven!"
She looked worried.
"Elder Arkon needs to see you immediately."
Something had happened.
And deep inside his mind, Arian knew the truth.
Their adventure was not over yet.
