The earth's magnetic energy suddenly changed, and the shining crystal light bulbs went out in an instant. In the pitch-black darkness, only the moonlight shone through the window into the library of the Noah Academy. Sophia tightly grasped the "Key of the Celestial Realm," her eyes filled with anxiety, while Morris held onto "Shadowfang," preparing for whatever might happen.
"For heaven's sake, what on earth is happening!" Lyra, their new class advisor and a high-level magic instructor, couldn't help but curse.
In this earthquake, even the most solid stone walls have developed cracks. These cracks not only spread across the surface of the earth, but also, like tentacles, rapidly climb along the buildings and towers. The pointed top of the tower has already begun to lean, as if it could collapse at any moment.
At this moment, the high-level staff of Noah Academy arrived at the scene. The doors burst open, and three figures hurried in, including the principal of Noah Academy, the dean of the School of Magic, and the dean of the martial arts academy.
Their faces were solemn, as if they had just eaten a swarm of flies. The three of them glanced at the gradually receding darkness in the sky, then turned their gaze to Sophia and Morris.
Noah Academy's principal, Seris, is a white-haired old man, with eyes as deep as the starry sky.
He held a magic ball in his hand, looking at Sophia and Morris with a serious expression. "What have you done!" His eyes seemed to want to pierce their souls.
"Oh my god, what's going on?! Do you realize that you have released a being that should not exist in this world?" Seris spoke with a cold and piercing voice.
Headmistress Leona of the Magic Academy is an elegant woman with sharp eyes, dressed in a flowing dark purple robe. She sizes up the two individuals and says, "You two dare to break the seal set by the founder of the school and the gods? This is blasphemy against the entire magical world!"
Headmaster Gray of the Martial Arts Academy, a burly middle-aged man clad in full-body metal armor with a giant sword on his back, concludes, "This seal cannot be broken by ordinary means, unless..."
The gaze of the three school leaders fell squarely on Sophia and Morris.
"We didn't mean to disrupt anything, we just—" Sophia tried to explain, but was interrupted before she could finish.
"What is it? Just something that shouldn't have been touched?" the principal asked heavily.
"It really was an accident. We just wanted to seal the crystal ball more, but we didn't expect it to trigger such a big incident," Morris tried to make himself look calm.
"Unexpected? Do you know that Azansos has escaped, and the safety of the entire Noah Continent is now threatened!" The headmaster of the magic academy almost shouted these words.
At this moment, Lyra the instructor stepped forward and said, "Headmaster, please let me explain for my students. They are indeed young and impulsive, but it's also possible that some mistake led them to fall into Azansos's trap. Regardless, we should now focus on solving the problem rather than looking for scapegoats."
"Indeed, Azansos has escaped, we can't linger here any longer," said the martial arts academy headmaster at last.
The principal took a deep breath and said, "Alright, then let's end this conversation now. The situation is serious, we must first inform the temple and the magic guild and figure out a way to discuss the next steps at an emergency meeting."
The leaders turned and left, heading to the temple and the mage guild to inform them of Azansos's escape, leaving behind a heavy and tense atmosphere.
Sophia was in turmoil. She tightly grasped the "Key of the Celestial Realm" staff in her hand, feeling its subtle magical flow, as if comforting her. Morris stood beside her, his blue eyes showing the same doubt and unease.
"It seems like we did mess up some things," Morris said half-jokingly.
Sophia gave a bitter smile, "Not just 'some,' Morris. We may have let Azansos escape, and that's a big problem."
Morris lightly waved the "Shadowfang" dagger in his hand as if inspecting its condition. "So, what do we do next?"
"First, we need to strengthen our own power. That Azansos is not easy to deal with. Then, we need to find him, seal him, or else..." Sophia couldn't finish her sentence, but her eyes said it all.
Morris nodded. "Well, then we should go find Miss Lyra and see if she can give us some advice."
The two of them walked through the cluttered and dimly lit library, both feeling very heavy-hearted. But just then, a mysterious light appeared in front of them, causing them to stop in their tracks.
"What is this?" Sophia asked in confusion.
Morris tightly held her hand. "I don't know, but we should go take a look."
There seems to be a mysterious attraction in the light, leading them towards an unknown future.
A book is emitting light.
Sophia was in turmoil, observing the backs of Lyra and other high-ranking individuals disappearing around the corner of the hallway, then turning her gaze to Morris. His blue eyes carried an imperceptible tension, yet also a hint of resilience.
"Okay," Sophia held the book tightly to her chest, "We should take a look at this book, maybe there will be some clues."
There is an indescribable power in books. Sophia gently caressed the book cover, feeling a subtle magical wave, like the dazzling night sky, beautiful yet dangerous.
The cover of the book is written in an ancient language with the words " meteor prophecy", seemingly ordinary but actually containing profound magic. Sophia chose a quiet corner in the library and opened the first page of the book.
"Morris, listen carefully," she said with a slightly humorous tone. "This book says that when the twin meteor appears in the sky, darkness and light will intertwine, and the destinies of the world will be decided by the two chosen children of the stars. The survival or destruction of the world will be in the hands of the chosen ones."
Morris widened his eyes in surprise, "Wait, are they talking about us? I remember on the day we were born, it seemed like two meteors landed..."
"Yes," Sophia interrupted him, but her blue eyes shimmered like a serene and confident lake.
"meteor Prophecy? This name sounds complicated. Do you think it's related to Azansos Escape?" Morris asked, his eyes shimmering like bright stars in the lamplight.
"I'm not sure either, but this book feels like a mystery. Maybe it can give us some answers," Sophia thought, her mind raging like a storm that couldn't be calmed.
Sophia lightly tapped the book with her "Key of the Celestial Realm" staff, and the gem on the staff instantly emitted a beam of light, illuminating the entire room. The book automatically flipped open to a specific chapter - "Stars and Destiny."
"Wow, this passage..." Morris gazed at the illustration in the book, a massive meteor streaking across the sky, with a forest and city below illuminated by the firelight. "Doesn't this seem like a prophecy?"
"Perhaps we should take a closer look," Sophia said, her blue eyes growing brighter as if they could see everything.
She began to recite the ancient text from the book, her voice gentle yet powerful, as if every word carried a mysterious magic. As she recited, the words in the book began to glow, illuminating the entire room.
"What... What kind of power is this?" Morris felt a shock, and his "Shadowfang" dagger seemed to react, emitting a flash of black light.
Sophia looked up at Morris and then continued reciting the ancient text. She felt as if she were being washed over by a tremendous energy, filling her entire being with power.
"This is the power foretold in the prophecy. I can feel it calling out to us," Sophia said firmly. "We need to find more clues in order to stop the impending disaster."
Morris nodded, knowing that Sophia wouldn't be wrong. "Alright, let's go find the answers together. Whatever danger it may be, we will face it."
When Morris turned to the last page of the book, he saw the signatures of the Elf King and the dwarf chief.
"I don't think this is just a coincidence," he said seriously.
Sophia nodded, tightly gripping the "Key of the Celestial Realm" staff in her hand, feeling it tremble slightly, as if responding to her inner emotions and determination.
"It seems we need to seek out those ancient allies, the elves and dwarves. Perhaps they can give us more guidance," Morris suggested.
"Yes, and we have more magic to learn, more power to gain," Sophia added, her eyes as determined as steel.
"Then it's settled," Morris stood up, picking up his "Shadowfang" dagger, its light shimmering in his eyes.
The two of them packed up their gear and walked back through the library. Their steps were filled with uncertainty, but also carried a new sense of hope and determination.
