Bab 573: The Moment

Days passed in a blur consisting of recovery for the Elven warriors and Mages, their bodies healing from the intense battle that had ravaged their lands. The Great Calamity was defeated, but the lingering sense of danger hung in the air, reminding everyone that vigilance was still needed. They can't shake it after what they just witnessed in front of their eyes. So despite their victory, not all had fully lowered their guard.

King Gulben, Saeldir, Aerchon, and Aurdis were among those who remained ever watchful, their minds alert to the possibility of any sudden threats. They couldn't afford to relax completely, even with the immediate danger gone.

The fear of what might come next had rooted itself deep in their hearts. The battle had shaken them, but it was the presence of Erend and Eccar, the two Dragonborns, that had turned the tide for them. Without them, the Elves or this world weren't sure if they could have stood against such a powerful force.
