Despite their best efforts, the seeds of discord remained, and soon reports of violence began to surface. Small skirmishes broke out along the borders, instigated by radicals on both sides who refused to accept the peace.
Lyra and Kaelith convened their closest allies to strategize. "We have to confront these factions head-on," Kaelith insisted. "If we don't, we risk losing everything we've built."
Lyra nodded in agreement."We must show them that violence will not be tolerated. We need to stand united against these provocateurs."
Their plan was to hold a public demonstration of solidarity, a gathering where both Abyssians and Celestials could come together and reaffirm their commitment to peace.
