Chapter 917: Chapter 917: Sacred Rites of Passage

The descent from the Frostfire Mountains was fraught with its own challenges. The weather grew more erratic, and the group faced swirling snowstorms and treacherous ice patches. Yet, despite the harsh conditions, their spirits remained high. With the moonstone, dragon's blood, and starfire flower in their possession, they knew they were closer than ever to their goal.

The sanctuary's familiar glow came into view after several days of travel. They arrived exhausted but determined, each member feeling the weight of their quest and the importance of what lay ahead.

Inside the sanctuary, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation. Morgana, Seraphina, Kirin, Jarek, and Elara gathered around a central table covered with maps, ancient texts, and the components of their ritual. The moonstone rested prominently in the center, its light casting a steady, calming glow.
