Bab 48: Chapter 28: The Final Confrontation

The Enchanted Forest embraced Alaric, providing him with the guidance and strength he needed to embark on his journey of redemption. Yana, Prince Evander, and the Crone stood by his side as he ventured forth to confront those he had wronged.

Their first stop was the village that had suffered under Alaric's dark reign. The villagers regarded him with suspicion and fear, their memories still haunted by his past deeds. Alaric approached them with humility, his voice filled with remorse.

"I stand before you today, not as the harbinger of darkness, but as one seeking redemption," Alaric began. "I know the pain and suffering I have caused, and I am committed to making amends. Please, find it in your hearts to forgive me."

The villagers exchanged hesitant glances, torn between their desire for justice and the possibility of healing. But then, an elderly woman stepped forward. It was Maeva, a wise and respected member of the village.
