Chapter 348 - Chapter 344 – Whispers from the Sky 

Sylvia and Sofia stepped out of the Simurgh Library, the golden light behind them slowly fading like a dream beginning to fade as dawn broke. The ancient stone gate closed slowly behind them without a sound, as if it had never been opened. The silent forest welcomed them again with its oppressive silence, thick creeping bushes, and darkness that lived like the breath of invisible creatures. But this time, the forest felt different. The dark and confusing passageway was now wide open, the tree branches shifting slowly like curtains pulled by invisible hands, forming a straight path to the outer threshold. The black trees that had stood rigidly now bowed respectfully, their dark leaves swaying gently as if bidding farewell to the two visitors who had just been touched by forbidden knowledge.
