The days following the air elemental's visit were filled with a flurry of activity. Kael, Morgana, and Vallon knew that time was of the essence. The omens foretold a growing darkness, and they needed to be prepared. The clearing, once a serene sanctuary, had transformed into a bustling hub of strategic planning and intense training.
Kael spent countless hours in deep meditation, his connection to the Heart growing stronger with each passing day. The orb's light pulsed in rhythm with his heartbeat, a tangible link to the elemental energies that coursed through him. He could feel the wind's caress, the fire's heat, the earth's solidity, and the water's flow more vividly than ever before. Each element responded to his will, bending to his commands with increasing ease.
