Aurora's eyes sparkled as she led Elphaba to a secluded area of the camp. Eamon followed closely behind, his expression thoughtful.
"Tell me, Elphaba," Aurora said, her voice filled with excitement. "What do you know about the crystal orb?"
Elphaba hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. But something about Aurora's warm smile put her at ease. "I found it in the ruins of an ancient temple," she said. "I think it's connected to my past, and to the magic that's been growing inside me."
Aurora nodded, her eyes shining with understanding. "I know a bit about the crystal orb," she said. "In my land, we have legends about a powerful artifact that can restore balance to the world. Could it be the same one?"
Eamon cleared his throat. "The crystal orb is indeed a powerful artifact," he said. "But its true purpose is more complex than simply restoring balance. It holds the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe."
Elphaba's eyes widened as she listened to Eamon's words. She had so many questions, but before she could ask any of them, Aurora spoke up.
"I think I know someone who can help us understand more about the crystal orb," she said. "A wise old woman who lives on the outskirts of the camp. Shall we go see her?"
Elphaba nodded, her heart racing with anticipation. She felt like she was on the brink of uncovering a great mystery, and she was eager to learn more.
Together, the three of them set off to find the wise old woman, ready to uncover the secrets of the crystal orb and their own destinies.
