Leo and his team stood at the base of the ancient portal, watching as the energy surges grew stronger. The symbols carved into the stone seemed to pulse with a rhythmic cadence, as if something on the other side was trying to break through. It wasn't just a portal—it was a gateway to another realm, one that could spell disaster if opened.
Sofia examined the carvings, her eyes narrowing as she deciphered their meaning. "This isn't just a portal. It's a seal—a barrier meant to keep something out or in. If it breaks, whatever is on the other side could cross into our world."
Leo's gaze moved across the forest, noticing how the surrounding vegetation had withered and died where the energy was strongest. "We need to find a way to stabilize it. If this seal breaks, we could be dealing with an invasion of some sort."
