"Only a heart unlocked by trust can open a gate sealed by betrayal."
š Previously:
Jemil met the Oracle on Floor 9, who revealed a devastating truth:
He created the Tower.
He lost his memories.
And he must reclaim his 13 wives to unlock its deepest secrets.
But one wifeā¦ may betray him.
Now, on Floor 10, the path forward is sealed by a forgotten part of his past ā one only a true bond can break.
šļø Floor 10 ā The Gate of Judgment
The climb led them into a vast courtyard, broken pillars strewn across a land scorched by magic and time. In the distance stood a massive gate, made not of wood or stone, but shimmering golden crystal, humming like a trapped scream.
"We've never seen anything like that," whispered Kaelara.
"This isn't a trial," Mira added. "This is a prison."
Jemil approached it. The moment his palm touched the surfaceā
FLASH.
Pain. Fire. A woman's scream.
He staggered back.
"It's locked with memory," he gasped. "Mineā¦ and someone else's."
