The team's return from the Crystal Caverns was marked by a renewed sense of urgency. With the Heart of Dawn secured, Elara and her companions knew that their quest was approaching a critical juncture. The next phase of their journey involved gathering the remaining components for the ritual and preparing for the impending confrontation with Nyx.
Their first destination was the ancient city of Serandor, a once-thriving metropolis now largely abandoned but rumored to hold one of the key components—a relic known as the Celestial Compass. This artifact was said to possess the power to navigate through both physical and magical barriers, a crucial tool for their upcoming endeavors.
As they traveled toward Serandor, the landscape gradually changed from the rugged mountains to rolling hills and dense forests. The weather improved, but the group remained cautious. The presence of Nyx's influence was still a looming threat, and they knew that danger could strike at any moment.
