The sun had risen higher in the sky as Elara, Kael, Morgana, and Arian continued their journey, the road ahead winding through an ancient forest. The towering trees, their leaves whispering in the breeze, created a canopy of green that filtered the sunlight into dappled patterns on the path. The air was fresh and cool, a stark contrast to the heavy atmosphere they had faced in their battles against the Abyss. Yet, despite the tranquility of the surroundings, an undercurrent of tension remained. They were all too aware that their journey was far from over.
As they walked, the group fell into a comfortable silence, each lost in their thoughts. The weight of their mission hung over them, but so did the sense of camaraderie that had grown stronger with each challenge they had faced together. It was Kael who eventually broke the silence, his voice thoughtful.
