As Uriel spoke, Emily felt a sense of excitement. What was on the pedestal?
But as she looked closer, Emily saw something that made her heart skip a beat. A small, glowing crystal.
"What is that?" Emily asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Uriel's eyes clouded over. "That is the ancient artifact," he said. "A powerful relic that holds the secrets of the hidden world."
As Uriel spoke, Emily felt a sense of wonder, the ancient artifact was even more beautiful than she had imagined.
But as she reached out to touch it, Emily felt a sense of unease, what if she wasn't worthy of the artifact's power?
As she hesitated, Emily saw something that made her heart skip a beat, a figure, standing in the shadows.
"Who are you?" Emily asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
The figure stepped forward, revealing a confident smile. "My name is Ariel," she said. "And I'm here to guide you on your journey."
As Ariel spoke, Emily felt a sense of relief. They had a guide.
