Chapter 91:
The weight of their impending journey hung heavy in the air as Jelo, their steadfast leader, addressed the group. His voice echoed through the quiet, grandeur hall, filled with an indomitable spirit that served as the beacon of their venture.
"Friends," Jelo began, his voice resolute and unwavering. "We stand here today, not just as individuals, but as a united force - bound by a common goal and shared resolve."
