With the essence of the sacrifice in their possession, Ty and Rian knew that they needed to act fast if they were going to banish the darkness. They called upon the kingdom's most skilled warriors and magic users to help them gather the power they needed.
The group sat down and began to form a plan. They knew that the ancient magic required a sacrifice of great power, and they needed to gather that power from various sources. They decided to split up into three groups, each with a specific task.
The first group was tasked with gathering magical artifacts from across the kingdom. They scoured the land, visiting ancient ruins and hidden temples, collecting powerful relics that would help amplify their magic.
The second group was sent to collect rare herbs and minerals that were said to have magical properties. They traveled to distant lands, braving dangerous terrain and hostile creatures to find the ingredients they needed.
The third group was tasked with recruiting powerful beings to join their cause. They sought out dragons, giants, and other mythical creatures, asking for their aid in the battle against the darkness.
As the groups gathered their resources, they reported back to Ty and Rian. They compiled their findings and began to formulate a plan. They decided to create a ritual that would harness the power they had gathered and channel it into the essence of the sacrifice.
The ritual would be performed at the heart of the kingdom, where the darkness was strongest. They would need a large group of magic users to perform the ritual, and the warriors would need to protect them from the darkness.
They knew that the darkness would be prepared for their attack, so they decided to create a diversion. They would send a small group of warriors to attack the darkness from a different direction, drawing their attention away from the main group.
With their plan in place, they set off to put it into action. They traveled to the heart of the kingdom and prepared for the final battle.
As they stood together, ready to face their greatest challenge, Ty and Rian knew that they had gathered the power they needed to banish the darkness. They knew that their sacrifice would not be in vain, and that they would emerge victorious.
