A massive tree branch crashed to the ground.
"What is happening here!!"
"I-Is this end of the world?"
"It's an omen, a harbinger of doom!"
The murmurs of panic echoed among the onlookers, their faces etched with dread as they witnessed the once-grand World Tree gradually succumbing to decay.
"Why?" Alysia's voice quivered with apprehension as she gazed upon the crumbling tree, her heart heavy with foreboding.
"If it falls, the very life force of this world..... the mana, will vanish," Alysia muttered, her words weighed down by the magnitude of the catastrophe.
"I-I must contact the other sentinels," she declared, preparing to take action, when...
"They're already here," Eli's voice cut through the tension, his gaze fixed on the distorted figures hovering ominously above the dying tree.
