Leaving the temple, Lyra found herself in a completely different place

Leaving the temple, Lyra found herself in a completely different place. I had arrived at the Crystal City, an ancient and forgotten metropolis, built entirely of glass and light. The towers shone in the sun, and the roads reflected the blue sky. However, the city was deserted, silent and lonely, like a mausoleum from ancient times. Lyra walked through the empty streets, feeling a strange mix of wonder and sadness. Although the city was beautiful, It was also imbued with a deep melancholy. The buildings and statues told stories of a golden age, When magic and kindness reigned in Elumbria. But that era was over., and all that was left were gleaming ruins and lost memories. while exploring, Lyra witnessed fleeting images, as if the city were trying to communicate something to him. He saw visions of his past, from his childhood, and of the moments when I had dreamed of a better life. He also saw images of Elumbria before the darkness, when the kingdom was full of life and hope. Finally, arrived at a large square in the center of the city, where a monumental statue stood on a pedestal. It was a representation of the ancient king, The first guardian of the Infinity Crystal. In his hand, He held a replica of the crystal, and his expression was one of wisdom and power. It was then that Lyra realized the truth.: The Infinity Crystal was not only a source of power, but a reflection of the soul of the person who owned it.. If the heart of his guardian was pure, The crystal brought light and prosperity. But if he was corrupted by ambition and fear, The crystal became a curse, destroying everything it touched. Lyra realized that she not only had to find the Crystal, but also to redeem Elumbria from the evil that had fallen upon it.. To do it, would have to face the current king, a man who was once a noble guardian, but was now consumed by the dark power of the crystal.
