Chapter 115: The Whispering Pines
Meanwhile, Lyra made her way south toward the Whispering Pines, the tall trees swaying gently in the breeze. She felt a sense of calm wash over her as she approached the village, knowing that the guardians there were skilled in protective magic.
As she entered the village, she was greeted by the sight of guardians practicing their spells, their faces focused and determined. Lyra approached one of the elder guardians, a woman named Eldra, who was known for her wisdom.
"Eldra!" Lyra called out, waving her hand. "I have urgent news. The darkness is gathering strength, and we need your help."
Eldra turned, her expression serious as she listened to Lyra's words. "I have felt the shift in the air. The shadows are encroaching, and we must act swiftly."
"We're forming a coalition to reinforce the Veil," Lyra explained. "Your protective magic will be invaluable. Will you join us?"
Eldra nodded, her resolve unwavering. "We will lend our strength. I'll gather the guardians, and we will prepare to stand against the darkness."
As Lyra and Eldra rallied the guardians, they felt the energy of the Whispering Pines shift. The guardians gathered, their faces determined as they listened to Lyra's call for unity.
"The shadows threaten our land, but together we can push them back!" Lyra declared, her voice ringing with conviction.
A chorus of agreement erupted from the guardians. "We will fight!" they shouted, their voices echoing through the trees.
