Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Beyond the Illusionary Veil

The night was a blanket of darkness, the sky obscured by clouds that threatened a storm. The eerie stillness was a stark contrast to the turmoil that had unfolded moments earlier. Elara, Kirin, and Lyra stood at the edge of their campsite, their breaths visible in the chilly air as they surveyed the aftermath of the encounter with Nyx.

Elara's thoughts were a whirlwind of strategies and concerns. The presence of Nyx, the Weaver of Nightmares, had added a layer of urgency to their mission. She knew they needed to regroup and reassess their plan. The Heart of the Realm, their beacon of hope, remained their primary focus, but the revelation that Nyx was actively working against them was a game-changer.
