Kiron stood in the tower where the Heart of Shadows had withdrawn. Pale moonlight streamed through the tower window, and the symbols on the stone floor still flickered faintly.
He felt a new strength in his heart. Yet the voices in his mind had not fallen completely silent.
At that moment, a stone shifted in the wall. Slowly sliding aside, it revealed a hidden passage.
It must be the Path of Shadows spoken of in legends a path only those who had overcome the deepest darkness could tread.
Kiron hesitated for a moment. Then he turned toward the passage.
As he walked, the walls whispered:
"Time is running out, Kiron... The return of the King of Shadows is awaited..."
At the end of the passage, a figure appeared in a stone chamber. A veiled old woman — the ancient Keeper of Prophecy.
"Welcome, Kiron."
"You know me?"
"Your path is written in the prophecies... You have conquered your inner shadow, but the storm outside is only beginning."
From her palm, the woman revealed an ancient seal — the Seal of Shadows — a key to controlling shadow beings.
"Zahadran is returning," she said.
"And your light may bring hope to this world again. But not alone."
Suddenly, the ground trembled. A group of shadow warriors from the Cult of Shadows was approaching the tower.
Kiron drew his sword. Now, this battle would be fought both for his inner self and for the outer world.
And he took his first step — moving through the shadows as if dancing among them.
