Having overcome the Leopard's challenge, Hiroshi, Sakura, and the Wolf were ready to prevent the rise of the Serpent. But their mission took an unexpected turn when a wise figure known as the Elephant appeared.
The Elephant possessed the power of memory, able to recall every event from the past and foresee potential futures. He had been observing Hiroshi and Sakura's mission and decided to intervene.
The Elephant warned them of a grave consequence of their actions. By changing the past, they were creating ripples in the timeline, potentially leading to an unstable future. He urged them to reconsider their mission.
Hiroshi and Sakura were taken aback. They had been so focused on preventing the threats from their past that they hadn't considered the potential consequences. They found themselves at a crossroads, unsure of their next move.
But they were not alone. With the Wolf's guidance and the Elephant's wisdom, they decided to continue their mission, but with a new approach. Instead of changing the past, they would influence it, guiding events towards a peaceful outcome without causing drastic changes.
With renewed determination, they set out to prevent the rise of the Serpent, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. And in the heart of the city, the legend of the Blade of the Night, the Phoenix, the Wolf, and now the Elephant echoed through time, a symbol of wisdom and resilience in the face of adversity.
