The first light of dawn cast a soft glow over the mist-shrouded valley as Elara and her companions continued their journey. The cool morning air carried a sense of renewal, but the shadows of their recent battles were never far from their minds. They had made significant progress in their quest to vanquish the remnants of darkness that plagued the land, but a lingering sense of unease hinted that their journey was far from over.
Their path took them through a winding forest, its dense foliage creating a mosaic of light and shadow on the ground. The tranquility of the forest seemed to mask an undercurrent of tension, a feeling that Elara and her team had become all too familiar with.
As they made their way along a narrow trail, Selene suddenly halted, her eyes scanning the surrounding trees with an intense focus. "Something feels off," she said, her voice carrying an edge of concern. "It's like there's a disturbance in the natural flow of magic."
