Chapter 67: The lake
Lyra and the dreamweavers cautiously approached the lake's edge, their senses on high alert. The rippling of the water grew more intense, and they could feel a strange energy emanating from the depths of the lake.
Suddenly, a massive shape emerged from the water, sending waves crashing against the shore. The dreamweavers stumbled backward, awestruck by the sheer size and majesty of the creature.
It was a dragon, unlike any they had ever seen before. Its scales shimmered with a light that seemed almost divine, and its eyes burned with a fierce inner fire.
The dragon regarded the dreamweavers calmly, as if sizing them up. Then, to their surprise, it spoke.
"I am the Guardian of the Lake," the dragon declared, its voice like thunder. "And you, dreamweavers, have been chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy."
Lyra and the dreamweavers exchanged skeptical glances. "What prophecy?" Lyra asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
The dragon's gaze seemed to bore into their very souls. "The prophecy of the Keystone," it replied. "A chosen one will find the Keystone, and with it, restore balance to the Dreamrealm."
The dreamweavers looked at each other, unsure of what to make of the dragon's words. But Lyra felt a spark of recognition ignite within her. She knew that she had been searching for the Keystone all along.
"What is the Keystone?" Lyra asked, her voice filled with determination.
The dragon's eyes seemed to gleam with approval. "Ah, you are indeed the chosen one," it said. "The Keystone is a ancient artifact, hidden deep within the Dreamrealm. It holds the power to balance the energies of the Dreamrealm, and restore harmony to the land."
The dreamweavers nodded, their faces set with determination. They knew that they had to find the Keystone, no matter what dangers lay ahead.
