The Original Soul
The moment the artifact activated, a white light covered a large portion of the cave.
For an instant, everything disappeared beneath that radiance.
The stone walls, the scattered weapons, the broken ground, even the figures of Victor and Evelyne were swallowed by a blinding brilliance. The air itself seemed to tremble as an unfamiliar force spread through the cavern, washing over everything within its range.
Diana narrowed her eyes and instinctively raised an arm to shield herself from the light.
Victor, however, remained still.
He simply watched.
There was no fear in his golden eyes. Only curiosity.
Then the light began to fade.
A silhouette emerged from within it.
At first, it looked like a towering figure wrapped in white radiance. As the last traces of light peeled away, the figure became clearer.
It was a woman.
