Chapter 45.
POV: Alyssa
The air was electric with tension as Raiden took charge, rallying the coven and the kingdom's remaining forces. His voice was a steady beacon amid the chaos, guiding the people as they prepared for the final battle. I watched, my heart heavy with dread and uncertainty, as the gathered armies made their preparations. Each clang of metal, each shouted command, seemed to echo my own fears.
"Listen up!" Raiden's voice rang out over the crowd. "We're facing our darkest hour. But we're not alone. Together, we can end this."
The forces, a motley assembly of humans, vampires, and other creatures, moved with grim determination. They knew what was at stake, and their faces were set with a fierce resolve. It was both comforting and terrifying to see them come together, knowing that their courage would be tested to its limits.
