Dax and Nyra smiled, happy to see Auren's wide eyes, filled with awe at the breathtaking beauty of the cave. Waterfalls dripped from above, glowing moss lit the stone walls, and the entire cavern shimmered like a hidden temple.
But then, something unusual caught Auren's gaze. On the bark of an ancient tree near the cave's heart, a strange carving stood out.
A pillar… and another beside it. Between them, a planet rested. And below, a massive serpent, its body coiled, head raised, supporting the planet.
Auren's hand trembled slightly as he stepped closer. He leaned in, fingers tracing the edges of the symbol slowly, feeling each curve and line as if the stone itself wanted to whisper its secret.
"What does this mean?" he asked in a hushed tone.
Nyra's voice was soft, yet it carried weight. "This is the Symbol of Existence. It represents the three primal energies that control this world. And the serpent… she is the Mother of Earth."
