Quest Story
The Crystal pulses like a slow heartbeat when you enter the chamber. It is larger than described — older. The inscriptions around it are in the god-tongue you studied. You have the question. You have two allies from opposing races. You have everything. The only thing left is the courage to ask.
The Crystal's light shifts from red to silver and stays there. No explosion. No god-arrival. Just silence — and then the distant sound of wolves howling and bats taking flight, as if both races felt the question ripple across Aeternum at once.
