Chapter 1002: The Winds of Fate
#### The Calm Before
The aftermath of the clash between Elara and Aelira left the battlefield eerily quiet. The Enclave forces stood victorious, but it was a hollow victory. The Harbinger had retreated, and the storm that had raged above the battlefield had dissipated, but everyone knew it was only a temporary reprieve. The true battle was yet to come.
Back in the Enclave, the air was thick with tension. The victory had bought them time, but the looming threat of Aelira's next move weighed heavily on everyone. Elara gathered her inner circle once more, this time in a more private setting—a chamber deep within the central tower. The room was lit only by the soft glow of magical runes etched into the walls, casting long, flickering shadows.
Eldra was the first to speak. "The storm wasn't just a coincidence. It was tied to Aelira's magic, to her very being. We need to understand how and why."
