The preparations intensified in the days that followed. Eldoria's forces were on high alert, and the town's residents continued to train rigorously. Soran had organized drills to ensure that everyone knew their roles and responsibilities in the upcoming battle.
Anubis had formed a council of advisors, which included Soran and Aldric, to strategize and plan the defense of Eldoria. They pored over maps, intelligence reports, and ancient texts to gain any advantage they could against the celestial threat.
Aldric had been in contact with neighboring regions, seeking support and reinforcements. While Eldoria had grown stronger, the celestial forces were still a formidable foe, and they needed all the allies they could muster.
One evening, as the council was deep in discussion, a messenger burst into the room. "Pharaoh Anubis, urgent news!" he exclaimed.
Anubis raised an eyebrow, his crimson eyes narrowing. "Speak, messenger."
