With Mayan's true motives laid bare, the group knew they were in a race against time. They understood that Oakwood's very existence teetered on the edge of destruction, and the relentless theft of souls continued unabated.
Determined to thwart Mayan's malevolent plan, the alliance embarked on a perilous journey to retrieve ancient artifacts that were said to rival his dark magic. These artifacts were scattered across the town, hidden in secret locations known only to a select few.
Each artifact held immense power, capable of countering Mayan's insidious influence. Their journey took them through Oakwood's hidden corners and into the depths of its history, as they deciphered cryptic clues and faced daunting challenges left behind by those who had guarded the town's secrets for generations.
The group's quest was fraught with danger, as Mayan's dark forces grew stronger with each stolen soul. Every step they took brought them closer to a showdown with the malevolent sorcerer, and they could sense the weight of the town's future resting on their shoulders.
As the alliance raced against time, their bonds grew stronger. Zilan, Meri, Lee, and Bruno found solace in their shared purpose, knowing that their collective determination was the only hope for Oakwood's salvation. Yet, the looming confrontation with Mayan would test their newfound unity to its limits, for they were about to face a foe whose powers were beyond comprehension.
