"Only a heart unlocked by trust can open a gate sealed by betrayal."
🌀 Previously:
Jemil met the Oracle on Floor 9, who revealed a devastating truth:
He created the Tower.
He lost his memories.
And he must reclaim his 13 wives to unlock its deepest secrets.
But one wife… may betray him.
Now, on Floor 10, the path forward is sealed by a forgotten part of his past — one only a true bond can break.
🏛️ Floor 10 – The Gate of Judgment
The climb led them into a vast courtyard, broken pillars strewn across a land scorched by magic and time. In the distance stood a massive gate, made not of wood or stone, but shimmering golden crystal, humming like a trapped scream.
"We've never seen anything like that," whispered Kaelara.
"This isn't a trial," Mira added. "This is a prison."
Jemil approached it. The moment his palm touched the surface—
FLASH.
Pain. Fire. A woman's scream.
He staggered back.
"It's locked with memory," he gasped. "Mine… and someone else's."
