The gathering was a somber affair. The old wounds of the past reopened, the memories of fallen comrades a constant reminder of the dangers that lay ahead. But amidst the gloom, a flicker of hope remained.
Lysander, drawing upon the wisdom of the Elder and the strength of his own experiences, reminded them of their past victories, of their resilience, of their unwavering belief in the light.
He urged them to prepare, to train, to strengthen their defenses. He reminded them that they were not alone, that there were others who shared their commitment to protecting the world from darkness.
