But then again, Elara always had an uncanny ability to know things without being told.The two women sat in the living room, with its old wooden floors and shelves filled with books and artifacts. Elara served tea, the steam curling up in the morning light."Your mother had them too, the dreams," Elara began. "But they were most potent with your great-great-grandmother. She wrote about them in her diary."Elara handed Lila a worn leather-bound book. The pages were yellowed with age, filled with delicate cursive writing. Lila opened it to a bookmarked page and began to read a passage dated 1854.It spoke of a lover from another time, a bond that defied the ages, and a dangerous enemy that sought to keep them apart.

Each clan was associated with different elements and realms, and they often vied for control over the city's magical hotspots. The balance of power was delicate, and the introduction of a powerful new player – like Lila, if she realized her potential – could disrupt that balance."What does this have to do with us?" Lila asked, trying to piece everything together."Our families," Ryker began, hesitating for a moment, "were once united. Leaders of opposing clans, they set aside their differences for a brief period and came together. That unity, though short-lived, was powerful enough to threaten the other clans. But betrayal and misunderstandings tore them apart, leading to a rift that lasted generations."Lila processed his words.
