**Chapter 29: The Echoing Isles**
Just when Lina thought she had uncovered all the secrets of the realm, a new mystery beckoned from beyond the known lands. Rumors spoke of the Echoing Isles—a chain of mysterious floating islands that appeared only during the rare celestial alignment.
Legend said the Isles held a relic of immense power—the Prism of Truth—that could reveal anyone's deepest secrets and hidden truths. Yet, no one had ever returned from that journey unscathed.
Driven by curiosity and a desire for understanding, Lina and her allies prepared for their most daring expedition yet. They set sail across shimmering waters, guided by starlight and ancient maps.
The Isles appeared suddenly amidst a swirl of glowing mist, each island shimmering with strange colors and inhabited by mysterious creatures—phantoms, spirits, and beings of pure energy.
