As the commotion died down, Rain turned to address his friends more privately. "Listen, everyone. Thank you for your willingness to help, but remember, no matter what happens, I want you all to prioritize your safety."
Hana offered a reassuring smile. "We promised. We'll do everything we can. Don't worry Rain!"
Pup nodded and barked. 'Just don't go getting yourself into too much trouble. We'll be watching your back."
Rain chuckled, feeling a wave of gratitude wash over him. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
With that, Rain and his friends settled into their roles for the night. The camp was once again a hive of activity as soldiers prepared for the coming battle.
As dusk turned to night, the encampment was illuminated by the flickering light of campfires and lanterns. The sounds of preparation mingled with the distant hum of the battlefield, creating an atmosphere charged with dread.
