Chapter 98 The Binding Of Fates

• The light of the Heartstone grew brighter, its glow illuminating the ancient chamber in waves of radiant energy. Meher stood, her hand still resting on the stone, her heartbeat synchronized with its rhythmic pulse. She could feel the weight of the choice she had just made—the power of the Heartstone now intertwined with her essence, a bond forged not by greed, but by necessity.
• Ayaan’s presence beside her was a comfort, a reminder of the strength they had found in one another. The air around them still hummed with energy, but there was a new sense of calm, a quiet that seemed to settle over the temple like a heavy blanket.
• The ancient voice that had guided them remained silent for a moment, as though waiting for the energy to settle. When it spoke again, its tone was different—softer, almost reverential.
