Chapter 40: The Prophecy Unveiled
The dust settled on the battlefield, the aftermath of a brutal clash. Seraphina stood amidst the wreckage, her heart heavy with grief for the lives lost. The enemy's forces had been defeated, but the cost had been great.
King Alexander approached, his gaze filled with concern. "Seraphina, are you alright?" he asked, his voice laced with worry.
She nodded, forcing a smile. "I'm fine, my love. Just weary from the battle," she replied, her voice betraying a hint of exhaustion.
As they surveyed the battlefield, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was the seer, an enigmatic being with ancient wisdom. Seraphina and King Alexander approached, their curiosity piqued.
The seer's eyes held a glimmer of intrigue as they looked upon Seraphina. "Child of destiny," they spoke, their voice carrying an otherworldly resonance. "Your journey is far from over. The time has come to fulfill the prophecy that has been written in the stars."
