Chapter 19. The Seal of Darkness

  The dim light of the torches cast flickering shadows on the walls of the ancient library. The scroll describing the Dark Lords lay open on the massive table, but this was not the end. Lionel, Ethan, and Stan continued their search. They needed an answer: how to stop the Darkness before it consumed their world.

  “There’s something here!” Ethan suddenly exclaimed, pushing a pile of dusty tomes to the floor. Underneath them was an old wooden box covered in symbols similar to those on the seal of the scroll.

  Lionel carefully ran his fingers over the carved patterns. At that moment, the box trembled, and the air around it filled with a deep sound, as if something ancient had awakened far below.

  “Be careful,” Stan warned quietly.

  But it was too late. The lid opened on its own, revealing another scroll inside, but this one was bound in chains. On its surface, crimson words glowed:

  "The Seal of Darkness cannot be broken, but it can be strengthened. Three must stand against three to balance the worlds."

  “Three?” Ethan repeated, exchanging glances with his friends.

  “The three Lords… and three who can stop them,” Lionel answered quietly.

  Stan clenched his fists.

  “Then we have no choice. We must find out how to strengthen the Seal of Darkness. Otherwise, our world is doomed.”

  They did not know that someone was already watching them… and that this someone did not want the Seal

  to remain untouched.
