"Alright, maybe I was exaggerating the danger a bit." With these words, Ratislav cast the Dispel spell and opened the sarcophagus.

When the lid of the sarcophagus fell to the ground behind him, those participating in this procession could look inside and see a beautiful woman. Aurelius and Paroxys were able to conclude that she resembled the dark-haired man from their dream. Since no further trap was activated, the members of the expedition could breathe a sigh of relief, but only for a few moments...
First, a bluish glow began to emanate from the woman's body, and everyone around felt a sense of peace and tranquility, feeling as if all bad things were leaving their bodies... But that was just at first, then the blue color turned black, and it seemed to drain life energy from everywhere. The amount of magical energy in this small cave began to exceed all limits. The woman lying in the sarcophagus also began to change, and after some time she looked significantly different from her original state.
During this process, none of those standing here could move, and when it ended, everything around became lifeless. All vegetation within a radius of thirty kilometers on the surface withered, all the land dried up, and only a wasteland remained. The woman who rose from the sarcophagus did not even seem to notice the presence of people in the cave and then disappeared without a trace.

Fortunately, the treasures were unharmed, but the participants of the expedition themselves experienced the consequences of this event...

- It's incredibly interesting," Selig said, touching the faces, looking into the eyes and mouths of the expedition members closest to him, and circling the sarcophagus, peering inside. "The purpose of these ruins is now clear, but who was she, and why was she buried here?

Aurelius was too shocked by what he had seen in the vision, so even though he wanted to stop the other members of the group from opening the sarcophagus, his lips betrayed him, and he couldn't help but make a sound. Now he looked around in surprise:
-Oh, Emperor... - he said in astonishment, placing the aquila on his chest - what just happened? Who was that? - Aurelius looked at Varus in confusion, who was still in a trance, and softly, quietly, so as not to accidentally break Varus's connection with whatever it was, called him by name.

Here I am. It looks like you were having fun while I was away.

Hearing his name, Varus awoke from his slumber and immediately rushed towards the sarcophagus, horrified to realize that it was open.
- We shouldn't have opened it, - he said.

His eyes and hair have faded.

-What... happened? - Ratislav looked around. -Something... is wrong. - The Tyrian tried to figure out what exactly was WRONG, but a feeling of inner emptiness kept growing. -I must say a prayer... say... - unexpectedly, Ratislav realized what had happened. -Lucian... I no longer feel... his support... How could this be. - The Tyrian resignedly sat down on the ground near the sarcophagus, then took out a prayer book, carefully flipped through a couple of pages, and then threw it aside.

Hearing his name, Varus awoke from his slumber and immediately rushed towards the sarcophagus, horrified to realize that it was open.
- We shouldn't have opened it, - he managed to say.

-They shouldn't have opened it - Aurelius whispered.

Oh, these paladins. They unleash universal evil, and then fight it to become heroes.

Oh, these paladins. They unleash universal evil, and then fight it to become heroes.

But without Lucian, I'm not as cool anymore. I'm not even a paladin anymore, you could say.

- We shouldn't have opened it, - he said.

- And you didn't open it; it was Ratislav who did. And what do you know about this sarcophagus and its former inhabitant?

- You didn't open it; Ratislav did. And what do you know about this sarcophagus and its former inhabitant?

Aurelius glanced at Varus, anticipating his response.

- I... - Varus paused. - I have absolutely no idea who that could be.

- Really? - Zelig moved closer to Varus and scrutinized him with his eyes. - I hope you haven't forgotten that we're all in the same boat now. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to share them. And what are you doing in this part of the world, if I may ask?

- I feel strange. - Horus said quietly, surprised by his own voice.

- Really? - Zelig approached Varus closely and scrutinized him with his eyes. - I hope you haven't forgotten that we're all in the same boat now. If you have any suspicions, don't hesitate to voice them. And what are you doing in this part of the world, may I ask?

Aurelius grabbed Amos by the shoulders and looked into his eyes:
-I won't allow anyone to treat a sick person who saved all of us so rudely and arrogantly in my presence.
