Chapter 637: Chapter 637: The Hidden Sanctuary

The morning sun bathed the rugged landscape in a warm, golden hue as Elara and her companions journeyed towards their destination. The mountains ahead, majestic and imposing, seemed to beckon them with both allure and intimidation. The group pressed on, the terrain growing steeper and more challenging with each step. The path was rugged, dotted with rocks and narrow trails, but their determination kept them moving forward.

As they climbed higher, the air grew cooler and thinner, making each breath a conscious effort. Despite the physical strain, the scenery was breathtaking. Valleys below were dotted with patches of lush green, and the distant forest they had left behind appeared like a sprawling carpet of emerald. The serenity of the landscape contrasted sharply with the urgency of their mission, providing a momentary respite from the darkness they sought to unravel.
