Hidden Chapter: “The Keepsake of the Silence’s Journey”
Loyalty and Heartache in Visaskarma
The Keepsake of the Silence, along with her sister Fable, lived in the harmonious yet tumultuous world of Visaskarma. Their loyalty to the Sliholphin faction was unwavering, and they served as two of the main lieutenants within the original Cosmolantis of Visaskarma. The Keepsake of the Silence, known for her steely resolve and exceptional combat abilities, secretly harbored feelings for The Keepsake of the Glory, whose leadership and charisma drew her admiration. This unspoken affection fueled her dedication to their cause.
Betrayal and Exile to Aesarthim
The stability of Visaskarma shattered when Lamia, driven by fear and ambition, betrayed the Cosmolantis. The mass of the battlefield, along with the Cosmolantis and their enemies, was transported to the alien world of Aesarthim. Stranded in an unfamiliar land, The Keepsake of the Silence's overwhelming aura struck fear into the hearts of the Aesarthimians, who viewed her as a monstrous entity. In turn, she regarded them with scorn, isolating herself and focusing solely on the mission to return home.
Discovering the Magic Library Astrolibra
During their quest to find a way back to Visaskarma, The Keepsake of the Silence and her comrades stumbled upon the Magic Library Astrolibra. Believing it could hold the secrets to their return, they eagerly delved into its tomes. However, an enchanted book trapped The Keepsake of the Silence, The Keepsake of the Acclamation, and The Keepsake of the Auspicious within its pages. They had to defeat the monsters inside to escape. Upon their victory, they discovered the book's true power was merely to record the events within it. Enraged by the deception and waste of time, The Keepsake of the Silence furiously burned the book. Fable soon arrived with promising news of another book that disclosed the existence of a Gate to return to Visaskarma.
A Divisive Decision
The Cosmolantis convened to discuss the implications of using the Gate. The Keepsake of the Silence and most of her comrades saw it as their only chance to reclaim their home. However, Fable, moved by the peaceful potential of Aesarthim, chose to discard her aura and live peacefully. This decision enraged The Keepsake of the Silence, who, feeling betrayed by her sister's abandonment, threatened her with violence. Despite her fury, she could not bring herself to harm Fable, whose serene acceptance of potential death struck a chord in her heart.
Growing Resentment and Desperation
This schism left The Keepsake of the Silence more resentful and desperate than ever. The betrayal and her sister's departure deepened her resolve to find a way back, even as it isolated her further. The remaining members of the Cosmolantis, united in their goal but fractured in spirit, struggled to devise a feasible plan to use the Gate. The Keepsake of the Silence's unrelenting drive and cold demeanor made her a formidable leader, but also a deeply lonely figure, consumed by her mission and her unspoken love for The Keepsake of the Glory.
A Ruthless Pursuit
In the days following Fable's departure, The Keepsake of the Silence intensified her efforts to uncover more about the Gate and the potential ways to activate it. Her investigations led her into the darkest corners of Aesarthim, where she encountered ancient beings and powerful artifacts. Each discovery brought her closer to understanding the complexities of the Gate but also highlighted the immense challenges that lay ahead.
