Deep in the dark forests surrounding the academy, Diamen huddled in a narrow passage, clutching Lukas's bag for protection. Despite his fear, he trusted in Lukas's wisdom.
But hiding indefinitely was not an option as the chaos grew louder. Diamen strengthened his resolve and made the decision to assist. Reaching into the bag, his hand found a dagger - his sole means of defense.
With the weapon firmly in his grip, Diamen looked into the shadowy woods. Among the trees, he caught glimpses of magic and movement in the distance. The battle had commenced.
Taking a deep breath, Diamen emerged from his hiding spot. He moved stealthily through the forest, staying low. As the sounds of the conflict drew nearer, he slowed his pace, attuned to any clues.
Suddenly, a surge of energy reverberated through the forest, causing birds to take flight. Had the enemy broken through? Diamen hastened his steps and loaded a arrow and stepped out.
