Graviel led the group with his usual commanding presence, his silver hair glinting faintly under the moonlight.

Behind him, Elion and Verion walked in quiet contemplation, occasionally exchanging glances, while Kaelric followed with his soldiers, a storm of emotions hidden beneath his stern expression.
