Invitation

While Lex was unconscious, he was dragged into a bright white room where a shadow appeared in front of him.

He stepped backward, directing his focus to the ethereal entity resembling fog. Simultaneously, a voice resonated in his mind. "Lex, it's truly a pleasure to encounter you. My apologies for the delay; I required some time to recuperate."

As it pondered, it began to respond, "I am Eldora's guardian, a presence safeguarding against evil forces. Unfortunately, my realm has succumbed to an infection that demands immediate attention and resolution."

Curiosity etched across his face, Lex gazed at the enigmatic being before posing, "And does this concern me?"
