Following the rift, the trio discovered the Lost City of Solara, an ancient civilization suspended between dimensions. Its streets shimmered with liquid light, and the architecture defied gravity, with floating towers and cascading waterfalls that moved independently.
The city held artifacts that could stabilize rifts and counter the Voidborne, but it was guarded by spectral remnants of its ancient inhabitants—trials of intellect, courage, and trust. Each step required not just strength, but collaboration and wisdom.
Kairo, Ryo, and Ayla navigated traps, solved puzzles, and overcame illusions designed to exploit their deepest fears. Along the way, they encountered Solarian guardians, ethereal beings who had been waiting for worthy champions. These allies taught them to harness multidimensional energy, further amplifying the Ember's power and their own abilities.
At the city's heart, Kairo discovered an ancient map detailing the locations of other rifts across the multiverse. "The Voidborne are spreading faster than we realized," he said. "We need to strike at their origin before it's too late."
