**Chapter 39: The Whispering Guardians**
In the aftermath of their victory over Morvane, Lina and her allies received a mysterious message from the ancient Guardians—celestial beings who watched over the balance of the realms. The Guardians revealed that a new threat was awakening deep beneath the roots of the world, a darkness born from forgotten memories and unspoken pain.
To confront this emerging menace, Lina would need to journey into the Depths of Echoes—a subterranean labyrinth filled with shifting tunnels, ancient traps, and echoes of the realm's darkest moments. The Guardians granted her a luminous amulet—a beacon of hope that could reveal hidden truths and guide her through the shadows.
Before setting out, Lina gathered her team, knowing that the journey into the depths would test their resolve, faith, and understanding of the realm's history.
