As dawn crept over the camp, an air of solemn purpose settled over the guardians. The revelation they had received from Arannis weighed on them, yet it brought a sense of peace. The realization that their role was not to eliminate shadows but to maintain a balance between light and dark had transformed their understanding of the world and their duty within it.
Over the coming days, Kael, Morgana, and Darien became mentors to their fellow guardians, sharing the insights they had gained. They spoke of the wisdom of the Elders and the ancient knowledge imparted by Arannis, emphasizing that their true mission was to protect the equilibrium between light and shadow. This knowledge stirred mixed reactions among the guardians. Some accepted it with a quiet resolve, while others struggled to reconcile their longstanding belief in battling darkness as an absolute enemy.
