Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Beneath the Gathering Clouds

The atmosphere in the capital had grown heavy with anticipation. The streets, once bustling with the usual chatter of daily life, now echoed with the sounds of preparation for war. Soldiers sharpened their weapons and fortified the city walls, while mages worked tirelessly to weave protective spells over the city. The reports from the northern outposts weighed heavily on everyone's minds: the Void was preparing for something larger than they had ever seen before.

Elara stood in the central courtyard, watching as her team worked to organize supplies and coordinate defensive strategies. The gravity of the situation gnawed at her, but she remained calm, resolute. Her mind was focused on the battle that loomed on the horizon. The Void was coming, and there was no room for hesitation.
