The Citadel bustled with renewed energy as Elara and her team returned with the artifacts from the hidden chamber. News of their discovery spread quickly, and the fortress was abuzz with anticipation. The ancient relics and scrolls promised to unlock new paths of magic and understanding that could be pivotal in their fight against any remaining shadows.
In the main hall, Elara gathered her closest advisors—Morgana, Thorne, and Selene—along with a few trusted scholars who specialized in ancient magic and history. The artifacts had been carefully stored in a secure chamber, and they were ready to begin the process of examining and deciphering them.
Elara took a deep breath as she addressed the group. "We have a rare opportunity before us. These relics and texts could hold the key to fortifying our defenses and understanding more about the ancient magic that once protected this land. Our first priority is to study them thoroughly."
