As you stand at the edge of the shimmering portal, a sense of wonder fills your heart. You recall the choice you made - whether to take Helwig's hand and step into this enchanting world or bid him farewell and return to your own reality. Your decision to trust in the unknown has brought you face-to-face with Manfred, a sprite of the stars, who now beckons you further into the portal's glow. Suddenly, a deep rumbling shakes the ground beneath your feet, causing the portal to flicker erratically. Before you can react, a booming voice echoes through the air, revealing itself as the ancient spirit guardian of the realm.
