As Jaela takes the Whispering Shard it seems as if time comes to a halt. A soft glow emanates from the Whispering Shard, casting an ethereal luminescence on their faces. Jaela’s eyes close, and her body stills.
Suddenly, you find yourself in a strange, ethereal realm. A vast cosmic expanse stretches before you. The landscape is filled with swirling nebulae and distant stars. At the center of this celestial landscape you can see the Whispering Shard hovering, it’s light pulsating with life. You notice other light’s like it. A radiant beam reaches out between the shards. As you look at it, you suddenly see a shadowy tendril begin to writhe within the shards core. As the shadow grows, it reaches out, its inky fingers stretching towards you. A sense of fear and dread crashes over you and you fall to your knees.
A voice, ancient and echoing, whispers through the void: “Restore the Heart, Radiance shines the brightest in the darkest places of the world.”
The vision fades as you find yourself on the floor. Jaela gasps for air, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and determination. “The Heart was shattered. We need to find it!”
