The team stood together, gazing at the empty field that stretched out before them. The weight of their victory against the council filled the air, but they knew that peace was fleeting in a world as dangerous as Elysium. They had shattered the council's control over the Nexus, an act that would send ripples throughout the realm, igniting resistance and drawing attention to their cause.
Canila's thoughts were interrupted by the faint shimmer of residual magic fading from Kael's and Elara's hands. The exhaustion was evident on their faces, but their spirits remained unbroken. They had given everything they had to dismantle the council's hold, and that sacrifice had won them this moment.
"Are you both alright?" Canila asked, a note of gratitude in his voice as he regarded Kael and Elara.
