Arias reached out toward the orb shimmering before him. The silver mist swirled faster, pulling him into its depths as if it were a gateway rather than a vessel. His breath caught, and for a moment, he was no longer in the Archive of Unspoken Names, but somewhere far removed — a place woven of twilight and hushed voices.
Before him stood the young woman he had glimpsed: the Bloom of Silence. Her eyes held sorrow deeper than any well, but also a fierce light, as if she carried the weight of untold stories and unspoken truths.
“You seek the root,” she said softly, her voice like the hush before dawn. “But beware — the silence I carry is not absence. It is the sound of what is left unhealed.”
Arias nodded. “We want to help the bloom grow — to heal what has been broken.”
She smiled sadly. “Then you must face the vow I spoke in shadows — the vow that sealed my name away and birthed the silence.”
Suddenly, the scene shifted. Arias found himself in a circle of figures — the Keepers of old — who watched silently as she spoke the final words of her vow. The vow was not of silence born from fear, but from protection — a promise to shield the world from a truth too dangerous to bear.
“But in protecting others,” the Bloom of Silence whispered, “I buried myself. I became the root of forgotten pain.”
Arias felt the weight of her confession settle over him. Healing would not come without facing these silent wounds.
The vision faded, and he found himself back in the Archive, the orb pulsing gently in his palm.
Elira and Dren watched him closely.
“What happens now?” Elira asked.
“You carry her name,” Arias replied. “Not just as a memory, but as a promise to break the silence — to bring light to what has been hidden.”
Dren nodded. “Then we must journey deeper into the Archive — to find the place where silence becomes bloom.”
The Keeper of Names stepped forward. “The third root sleeps beneath the Hall of Whispers. But beware: some truths seek to remain unspoken.”
Arias took a deep breath, feeling the Magic Pot’s steady pulse against his chest.
“The bloom continues,” he said. “And so must we.”
