Isadora's gaze is warm but sharp as she takes you in from head to toe.

"So, you found your way here at last?" she says with a smile.as if reading the very story written in your bones.

"I know why you're here. We have no time to lose. Let's begin at once."

She dusts off the desk and unrolls an ancient manuscript.
 

"Do you see this?" she says, pointing to what appears to be cryptic illustrations.
 

"This is the recipe for the Elixir of Freedom.

She pauses, and when she speaks again, her voice carries a sense of urgency.

"My days on earth are numbered, as is the understanding of this wisdom. If you promise to use it for good purposes, I wish to pass it on to you."

The room holds its breath.

Even the candle flames seem to still, waiting.

You close your eyes for a moment,

feeling into the depths of your heart.

Then the answer rises within you, clear as a bell...

If you cannot make this promise, the door remains open behind you. Simply close this window.
