The Shadow of the Last Tale

On the night Elias disappeared, everyone saw that strange light in the sky. It wasn't a star, it wasn't lightning, it was a silver thread that extended from the horizon, then went out as it appeared, leaving behind a silence charged with fear. Since that night, Elias has not returned, but his story is not over... it has begun.

Chapter One: The Call to the Unknown

Elias was a young man living in the village of "Norval" surrounded by black forests. He dreamed of leaving the place and searching for adventures, but he did not expect adventure to come to him. One night, he found a door that had never been there before, a stone door in the heart of the forest, from which a dim blue light emanated. His curiosity prompted him to open it, and as soon as he did, he felt a coldness running through his veins, and an invisible force pulled him inside.

Chapter Two: The Other World

He woke up in a world unlike anything he had ever seen before. A sky glowing with colors unknown to humans, and a massive city built of bones and stone, inhabited by a people with black eyes and clothes woven from shadows. In the center of the city, there was a stone throne, on which sat a human-looking being, but not human at all. A deep voice spoke to him: "Finally, the heir to the prophecy has arrived."

He told him that this place was called Valthera, and that he belonged there more than he belonged to his world. But he wasn't the only one who came here, there was a girl... Lyanna, whom he had known since he was young, but she was different here. Her eyes shone with a mysterious energy, and sadness was etched into her features.

Chapter Three: Lyanna's Secret

He approached her and whispered, "How did you get here?" She looked at him as if she hadn't expected to see him, then said, "This land is not what it seems, Elias... It is the stage for a tragedy written centuries ago, and we are merely roles that have yet to be told. "He began to realize that everything was connected to a mysterious shadow, an entity called the "Lost Sage," who controlled this world from behind the scenes. It was not a person, but an idea, an entity that knew everything about everyone, and directed their destinies as it wished.

Chapter Four: Horror and Sacrifice

As they got closer to the truth, nightmares began to haunt them, and Elias could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion. He heard a voice whispering in his ear at night: “Stories aren’t told, they’re lived, and now you’re part of the final story…” He discovered that there was only one way out, but it required sacrifice.

He had to make a choice: either save Liana and leave himself stuck here forever or return to his world and leave her to an unknown fate. But when the time came, Liana made the choice instead of him…

Final Chapter: Open Ending

Elias woke up in his village, but the forest wasn't the same, and the stone door was gone. He wasn't sure if what he had experienced was a dream or reality, but he found something in his hand... Liana's necklace. He looked up at the sky, and there, he saw that silver light again.

Has he returned to reality?

Or is the story not over yet?
