Im setting up a protective barrier, Lune explained. The glowing symbols started to move toward the rooms center, each pulsating with a gentle light that harmonized with the surrounding energies. As they formed a pattern, the air filled with a dense magical energy.

Alice, still shaken by her vision of the World Tree, looked at Lune with awe and curiosity. Will this barrier protect us from Atlantis?

Lune nodded slowly. Its an ancient elvish seal. It will guard us against any external threats for a short while, enough time for us to plan our next steps. His voice carried a hint of fatigue, suggesting the great effort he was putting forth.

Duncan walked back to the window, fixated on the ever-expanding World Tree that seemed to envelop everything in sight. How did this happen? And why now? he asked aloud.

Lune followed Duncans gaze. This is the result of events set in motion long ago. Atlantis was never truly forgotten. It was just dormant, waiting for the right moment to awaken to its true identity. And it seems that moment has arrived.

Outside, the landscape continued to change. The once calm and serene sea now reflected the eerie glow of the World Tree, casting surreal shadows across its surface.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Alice said, We need to alert the entire alliance. If Atlantis fully awakens, the consequences could be catastrophic.

Lune agreed, Youre right. But first, we must ensure our safety. We cant expose ourselves to its full power unprepared.

Duncan clenched his fists, his determination clear. Weve faced challenges before. Well meet this one head-on. Atlantis may be awakening, but we have unity on our side.

The room tensed up, everyone aware they were at the brink of a monumental event. They were at the very heart of a turning point in history.

Lune appeared slightly surprised by Duncans resolve, pausing to consider his words. The room seemed to cool as if the mention of the ordeal chilled the air. No, he admitted after a pause, his voice filled with both apprehension and curiosity. But if this is a way to communicate with the Guardian, then I am ready to face whatever challenges come our way.

Taking a deep breath to calm her rising panic, Lucretia said, We need to get to the central spire. I suspect there might be a way to communicate with, or at least understand, what Atlantis wants. We cant just stand here and watch our world burn.

Taran El, his shock replaced by resolve, nodded. Lets go. We might be the key to stopping this, or at least to understanding it.

As the ground quaked beneath them, Lucretia grasped Taran Els arm, steadying him as he was overwhelmed by the surreal transformations unfolding around them. Once vivid and lively, the details of Wind Harbor now seemed fluid and transient, as if painted with watercolors bleeding into one another.

Their surroundings began to blur and warp, losing all solidity. Every element around thembricks, beams, the breeze, voicesseemed to dissolve into shimmering particles of light, swirling in the growing darkness.

And so the dream unravels, Taran El murmured, his voice tinged with melancholy. Was the reality we knew ever truly real?

Lucretias gaze stayed firm, fixed on the ever-expanding tree emerging from the depths, its branches reaching out like arms of a colossal guardian reclaiming its territory. Reality is what we perceive, she replied thoughtfully. To us, Wind Harbor was as solid as the ground beneath our feet. But now, Atlantis calls, and we are summoned to witness.

Nearby, amidst the chaos, a phantom ship began to appear more clearly. Its ghostly sails billowed silently, illuminated by a mysterious glow. Chains and seaweed hung from its bow, and its wooden structure showed signs of age, adorned with barnacles and coral. As if guided by an unseen hand, the ship sailed effortlessly, heading straight toward the heart of the great tree.

Feeling a pull in her soul as they watched the ship approach, Lucretia sensed a deep connection to it, as though it were a key to unlocking the mysteries ahead.

We need to board that ship, she declared resolutely.

Taran El looked at her, his surprise clear. Do you think it holds the answers to whats happening?

Lucretia nodded. I believe so. It seems to be beckoning us, guiding us to the core of Atlantiss dream. Only by delving deeper can we hope to unravel the mystery Atlantis represents.

With determined steps, they moved toward the ghostly vessel, guided by its ethereal glow. As they approached, the colossal tree continued to rise, its branches spreading wider and casting vast shadows that danced with the light from the ship.

As Wind Harbor continued to dissolve around them, Lucretia and Taran El clung to each other, united in their quest to uncover the secrets at the heart of Atlantiss dream.
