Chapter 38: Chapter 42: Operation Queen Rose
The moon hung low in the sky, casting a silver glow over the secret chamber where King Simha convened the chosen few. Seven brave souls stood before him, each from a different race, each with skills vital to the success of a mission cloaked in shadows.
**The Assembly of the Covert Group**
Two stalwart bears, their strength unmatched; three wolves, swift and silent as the night; two birds, masters of the sky; one cunning fox, and one agile rabbit—this was the team that would carry out Operation Queen Rose.
**The Mission Briefing**
"Your task," Simha addressed them, his voice steady, "is to bring back my sister, the princess, from the elven kingdom. She must be retrieved without harm, without the clamor of war."
**The Tools of Secrecy**
He presented them with two new inventions. The first, a vial of chloroform, to be used with the utmost care, a tool for silent incapacitation. The second, a specially crafted hand grenade, paired with a crossbow, for moments when stealth gave way to necessity.
**The Oath of Harmlessness**
"Use these only when required," Simha instructed, "for our goal is to avoid violence, to slip through the enemy's grasp like a whisper on the wind."
**The Departure**
With a nod, the group accepted their charge, their faces set with determination. They departed under the cover of darkness, moving as one towards the distant elven kingdom.
**The Hope of Ebonwood**
As they vanished into the night, Simha turned his gaze to the stars, whispering a prayer to the ancestors. "Watch over them," he implored, "for they carry not just the hope of a brother, but the hope of Ebonwood."
And so, Operation Queen Rose began, a daring venture into the heart of the unknown, a quest to reunite a family and protect the peace of a kingdom.
