The Umbra Realm's darkness receded, revealing a landscape transformed. The guardians stood victorious, weary but relieved.
Sophia's ancestral energy still resonated within her. "The balance is restored," she said.
Élise approached, her eyes shining. "Well done, Sophia. You've fulfilled our bloodline's legacy."
Bastien transformed back into his human form, exhausted. "What's next?"
Adèle's gaze swept the realm. "We ensure The Archon's influence is eradicated."
Julian and Luca shared a nod. "We're with you, always."
As they began their survey of the realm, a figure emerged from the shadows.
"Mère Jalouse?" Sophia whispered.
Mère Jalouse's warm smile spread. "I'm proud of you, chère. Your heart has healed the Umbra."
Mère Jalouse handed Sophia a small, delicate box. "A gift from our ancestors. For the next guardian."
Sophia's eyes widened. "The prophecy...it's not over?"
Mère Jalouse's gaze turned mysterious. "The thread of fate weaves on. New challenges await."
