Title: The Pact of the Eternal FlamesLevel: Intermediate (B1)#Story : Kalen and Rhys, two legendary warriors, are bound by a pact sealed with the flames of eternity, swearing to protect the kingdom of Elyria. Over time, Rhys longs for freedom from their immortal duty, and in a moment of weakness, he attempts a forbidden ritual to sever the bond. However, this unleashes the Devourer, a dark force that begins to consume the kingdom. Realizing his mistake, Rhys seeks Kalen’s forgiveness, and together, they reunite to fight the Devourer.
