The fortress was a stark contrast to the chaos outside. Inside its ancient walls, there was a semblance of order and calm, a brief sanctuary from the relentless encroachment of the Abyss. The map spread across the large table in the central chamber of the fortress was their guiding star now. Eldric had gathered his most trusted allies and the key members of Elara's group to discuss the crucial next steps.
Elara, Kirin, Morgana, Lyra, Thalia, and the rest were gathered around the table, their faces reflecting the strains of their arduous journey and the burden of the task ahead. The map was marked with symbols and notes, detailing the locations of the three Nexus Points that Eldric had mentioned. Each location was a stronghold of dark power, vital to the Abyss's existence and influence.
