The determination to save her village fueled Nori's every step. 

The villagers fought valiantly, their determination evident in the face of overwhelming odds. Yet with their numbers against a hundred, their efforts risked being in vain.

Without hesitation, Nori plunged into the fray, determination burning in her eyes. 

The battle raged on, a swirling vortex of chaos, but she was driven by a singular purpose — to reach Morgrimm before it was too late.
