Chapter 36 The Forgotten Sanctum

• The Elemental Academy was vast, far more than just the towering halls and courtyards where the students trained and studied. Beneath the surface, hidden beneath centuries of history and magic, lay forgotten corners—places untouched by time, places where even the teachers no longer ventured. Ava had heard whispers of them, of the old sanctums where magic once thrived before the Void’s rise.
• Now, it seemed one of those forgotten places was calling to her.
• Ava walked through the Academy’s lower corridors, her footsteps echoing in the silence. Beside her, Elias moved quietly, his expression tense and watchful. Neither of them had spoken much since the confrontation with Kaida. The tension between the students was growing, with factions forming in secret, whispers of a coming war between those loyal to the Academy and those who sought their own power.
