章 187: Chapter 53: The Final Ward

The final ward shimmered across New Haven's perimeter, casting a faint golden glow that reflected off the buildings and trees. The townsfolk, weary but resolute, took comfort in the new defenses. Yet, as the quiet of the night settled in, there was an unspoken understanding that these measures were only temporary; Lady Elara was relentless, and she would return, stronger and more cunning.

George took his place atop the watchtower, overlooking the valley. The town below was still, with only a few guards patrolling the perimeter, their shadows long and silent under the dim moonlight. Lucy, Raven, Jackie, and Akari joined him, each of them carrying the weight of the day's events in their eyes. They'd all seen what Elara's minions could do, and they knew the fight was far from over.
