章 1293: Chapter 1293: Resilient Bonds

The days following their victory brought an intense focus across the camp. The air held a taut energy, with every warrior, mage, and healer embracing the new rituals that fortified their minds against the Eternal Shadow's lingering presence. The Luminal Heart continued to burn brightly, but now, every defender knew it was more than just a shield; it was their shared spirit given form.

Kael led morning and evening gatherings, rallying their courage and reminding them of the resilience within.

Morgana was always by his side, her wisdom and strength grounding him in moments of uncertainty. Together, they became the bedrock for everyone around them.
