The dawn light filtered through the trees as Elara, Thorne, Morgana, and Selene made their way out of the chasm. The battle against the dark entity had left them physically and emotionally drained, but there was a quiet resolve among them. They had survived, and for now, that was enough.
As they reached the surface, the group paused to take in the scene before them. The forest around the chasm was bathed in a soft golden light, the morning dew glistening on the leaves like tiny diamonds. The air was cool and fresh, a stark contrast to the oppressive atmosphere they had just left behind.
"We should rest for a while," Thorne suggested, his voice gentle. "We've been through a lot, and we need to be at our best for whatever comes next."
