Luna Aurora (Alpha Fenrir)

Chapter 288

Following the faint pull of the portal's energy, Elyra and Dain discovered a hidden trail veiled by glowing runes etched into ancient stones. The symbols seemed alive, humming with power that resonated deep within Elyra, sparking fragmented memories she couldn't quite grasp.

"This place... it feels alive," she murmured, tracing one of the glowing symbols with her fingers. The sensation sent a shiver down her spine, both comforting and unsettling.

Dain stood beside her, his protective instincts on high alert as his eyes scanned their surroundings. "Whatever it is, it's guiding us. Let's hope it's not a trap," he said, his tone cautious.

The trail led them to a clearing dominated by a massive, weathered door embedded into the face of a towering cliff. The runes on the door pulsed faintly, their rhythm matching the beat of Elyra's heart. "This has to be it," Elyra whispered, her voice tinged with awe and trepidation. Her hand trembled as she reached for the door's surface, the energy emanating from it sending warmth through her veins.
