THE KEEPER'S LEGACY
"Elias..."Aria said his name, it was a whisper.The figure in the Heart of Memory started to take shape.He was not really there, he was made of light just like Aster.He looked just like Aria remembered him.He had gray eyes and his hands were all worn out.There was a scar on his jaw from that time he got hurt when he was splitting firewood.He had that little smile, the one he always had before he said something.Arias' knees felt weak."Father..."Elias smiled at her."My storm, " he said.Those words made her feel like everything was going to be okay.She ran to him without thinking.When she got to the light her hands went right through it.All she felt was warmth, not his arms around her.Tears filled her eyes."I couldn't save you, " she said.Elias shook his head."You were never meant to " he said."I should have known, " Aria said."You were a kid, " Elias said."I still should have known, " Aria said.Elias looked at her with eyes."You have been carrying that around for
THE NAME OF DARKNESS
The room started shaking.The darkness moved back from Arias words then it came together in the middle of the room.It was not laughing anymore.There was silence now.Aster was standing next to Aria. His silver body was moving more than before.Eryn noticed this away."Aster, you are getting weaker, " Eryn said.Aster nodded."My time is almost up, " he said.Orion's face looked sad."If Aster disappears now...""...there will be no one left who remembers how everything started."The darkness was moving.A face was coming out of it.It was not a body.It was changing all the time.Sometimes it was a woman.Sometimes it was a child.Sometimes it was a soldier.Sometimes it was a mother who was very sad.Sometimes it was a king.Every second the face changed.Aria was staring at it."Why does it not have one face?" she asked.Aster answered quietly."Because it never had one face, " he said.The face in the darkness laughed.It was not laughing with a lot of voices anymore.It was spea
THE JUDGMENT OF TRUTH
The Heart Chamber was completely silent.Aster stood to Arias' left. His body was made of light.Orion stood to her right. He was wearing someone's body.Between them were the pieces of the Heart of Shadow.Neither of the brothers said a word.Neither of them moved.It was Aria who finally spoke up."I will not choose, " she said.Orion raised an eyebrow."No?" he asked."Not until I know everything, " Aria replied.Aster smiled a little.He looked like he approved of her decision."You have already started, " he said.Aria took a step forward."If I am supposed to judge..." she said,"...then neither of you can hide anything from me."She turned to Aster first."You put your brother in prison, " she said."Why did you do that?"Aster's face looked sad."I loved him, " he said."That is not what I asked, " Aria said."No, " Aster replied."But this is the start of the answer, " he said.He looked at Orion."When we made the River we thought memories would help people be wise, " he sai
THE HEART OF SHADOW
The hand was gripping the edge of the crystal. It had fingers and pale skin. Dark mist was curling around them like they were alive. Aria raised the brass key without thinking. The silver light from the key got brighter. Made the mist go back for a moment. Eryn did not move. He was standing in front of the broken sphere with his hands still on it."Stay back!" he shouted. He was not calm anymore."This chamber still holds!"The hand got tighter. Then another hand came out of the darkness. A shoulder came out too. A figure started to pull itself out like it was climbing out of a hole. The air got heavy. It was hard to breathe. Aria felt pressure in her mind. It was not pain. Whispers. Thousands of voices were talking at the time.You were abandoned...You are alone...No one will survive...Aria grabbed Liam's whistle without thinking. The warm wood made her feel better. The whispers got weaker. Eryn looked at her."Don't listen.""It feeds on fear."The figure laughed."So you still r
THE PORTRAIT OF BROTHERS
Aria walked through the Final Gate.Soon as she did the gate closed behind her with a loud boom.This room felt different from the others.It felt alive.There was a silver light floating around in the air.It looked like stars moving slowly around the big round room.The walls had lots of pictures carved into them.Aria saw cities being built and rivers being formed.She saw people gathering near stone buildings.In the middle of the room there was a table.On the table there was a picture of two men.Aria approached the picture slowly.The picture was old. She could still see everything clearly.One of the men was Aster.He looked calm and wise.The other man was a little taller. Had darker hair.He was. Aria thought he looked a bit like Liam.The two men had their arms around each other.They looked like brothers.At the bottom of the picture it said:Aster and Orion, the men who built the First Sanctuary.Aria looked puzzled."Orion..." she said.Adrian had never mentioned his nam
THE LAST WARDEN
Aria stopped at the edge of the bridge.The abyss beneath her seemed to have no bottom.It wasn't dark.It was filled with stars.Thousands of lights drifted below like memories on an endless night.The cloaked figure didn't move.One hand rested on a wooden staff.The other hung by his side.His face was still hidden.Only his voice was in the air.It was Rowan's voice."Only one of us can cross the gate, " he said.Arias heart started beating"You're not Rowan, " she said.The figure chuckled softly."No, " he said."But your heart heard him, " Aria said.He slowly lifted his head.The hood still covered his face.Aria could see there was no face beneath it.Only shifting light."I am the Warden, " he said."I guard the path between sacrifice and destiny."Aria stepped onto the bridge.The stone beneath her feet glowed faintly with every step."I've already passed the Gate of Sacrifice " she said.The Warden nodded his head."You passed the lesson, " he said."You have not yet paid
