A luminous emerald sphere radiated before me like a miniature sun. With each step I took toward it, the orb pulsed rhythmically. My heartbeat synchronized perfectly with its cadence, as if we shared the same life force.
"What are you?" I whispered, mesmerized by its ethereal beauty.
Killian and Astrid materialized from the shadows, settling beside me on the ground. "This is your power," Astrid explained, her fur brushing against my hand. "This is the core of your soul. The energy flowing through your veins originates from this sphere. Your entire essence resonates with this fragment of yourself."
