Chapter 20: The Lost City of Eldrida
Ada's curiosity about the mystical realm's secrets led her to a hidden city, veiled from the rest of the realm. Nneoma's visions hinted at the city's existence, and Aziza's knowledge confirmed its presence.
The city, Eldrida, was said to hold ancient artifacts and forbidden knowledge. Ada felt an inexplicable pull toward the city, as if the magical paintbrush was guiding her.
As they approached Eldrida, the air thickened with an otherworldly energy. The city's architecture seemed to defy gravity, with structures that twisted and curved like living vines.

The final trial proved the most challenging: a test of their intentions and worthiness to wield the magical paintbrush's power. Lyra presented them with a moral dilemma, forcing them to choose between personal gain and the greater good.
Ada, Nneoma, and Aziza deliberated, weighing their options. Ultimately, they chose to prioritize the mystical realm's well-being, demonstrating their commitment to responsible stewardship.
