With Benjo's assurance, the Council members eased their auras, their eyes still watchful. They regarded Marco with a new understanding, their initial unease giving way to curiosity.
Eldora, the Council leader, nodded at Benjo's words. "Very well," she said, her voice echoing through the hall. "We trust your judgment, Benjo. Let the trial begin."
The trial was a test of their abilities, their resolve, and their unity. The Council had prepared a series of challenges, each one designed to test a different aspect of their abilities. They had to work together, rely on each other to overcome them.
As the first challenge was unveiled, the chosen ones steeled themselves. They were ready to face whatever the Council had in store for them. They were a team, and together, they would face this trial.
