As Auris vanished from sight, the elder elves were left standing in stunned silence, their eyes wide with disbelief. The sudden disappearance of such a formidable foe was as mystifying as it was unsettling.
"Just what happened? How can he disappear all of a sudden?" one of the elder elves exclaimed, his voice echoing the confusion and fear that gripped them all.
Another elder, older and more composed, but equally baffled, responded, "I don't know, but seeing that he is gone, it is time for us to go." His voice carried a sense of urgency that spurred the others into action.
He continued, his tone heavy with resignation, "He is too strong, and I can't believe that we could beat him, so we need to get away." This statement laid bare their vulnerability and the grim reality of their situation.
