Chapitre 242: Story 242: The Price of Vigilance

A quiet tension filled the village as Damien and Elara prepared to reinforce their defenses. Mira’s arrival had stirred both curiosity and suspicion, yet Damien couldn’t ignore the warrior’s value in battle. She had proven herself against the undead, but the sense of mystery surrounding her only deepened.

As night fell, Damien gathered a small team to scout the outer perimeters of the village. Mira volunteered immediately, her confidence unwavering, and Elara reluctantly agreed to join. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and ash as they ventured into the forest’s edge, shrouded by a thick fog that limited their visibility. The silence around them grew heavier, broken only by the crunching of leaves underfoot.
