Chapter 3: The Vaults of Legacy
Elara Morgan Wynter appeared instantly inside the grand hall of Gringotts. Towering marble walls shimmered under magical lamps, enchanted quills hovered in the air writing in invisible ledgers, and gold gleamed faintly behind protective wards.
A group of goblins led her to a circular platform in the center of the hall. Sigils representing Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Morgana Lefay hovered above the platform.
One of the oldest crystals in the bank hovered before her. Elara placed her hand on it, and magical threads of light flowed from her veins into the five sigils. The reading confirmed her inheritance: she carried the magical essence of all four founders and Morgana Lefay.
