As dawn broke over the horizon, casting golden rays of light across the glade, Liora and Milton sat together, feeling a sense of renewal wash over them. They had crossed a threshold, embracing not only their love but the responsibilities that came with it.
Milton turned to Liora, his expression serious yet filled with warmth. "We have much to prepare for, my love. The Shadow Conclave will not wait, and we must stand strong together."
Liora nodded, her resolve renewed. "I'm ready, Milton. We will face whatever comes our way, together."
With their hearts intertwined and their spirits united, they rose to face the new day, ready to protect Novus Mundus and confront the darkness that threatened their world.
