The Endsea stretched before them, waves like liquid night, devouring light. Kaden, Lara, and Arin boarded a small boat, Eira's vial glowing in Kaden's hand.
Arin frowned. "This sea... it's alive."
Lara nodded. "It eats memories. Stay focused."
They reached the Wreck of Dreams, a ship half-submerged in the void-like water. Kaden tossed the vial onto the deck—it shattered, flooding the ship with radiance.
A ghostly captain appeared. "Who dares?"
Kaden explained their quest. The captain pointed below. "The final piece is in the captain's quarters—but it's guarded."
They descended into darkness. A figure awaited—a shadow of Kaden, eyes burning.
"You're not whole," it whispered. "You'll lose everything."
Kaden hesitated. Lara stepped forward. "We trust you, Kaden."
Kaden faced his shadow. "I'm not afraid."
The shadow morphed into a mirror. Kaden saw his parents' faces—then they shattered. The mirror broke, freeing the final piece.
The ship creaked, memories swirling back. The captain smiled. "You restored my crew's dreams."
Kaden assembled the Heart of Elysium. It glowed, balancing light and dark.
Eira appeared. "The shadows?"
Kaden smiled. "They're part of us. Balance remains."
Suddenly, Elysium's skies cleared.
