บท 1196: Chapter 1196: The Gathering Clouds

The group moved quickly, the cold morning air biting at their faces as they navigated the winding path through the northern pass. Amara kept her senses sharp, scanning the horizon for any signs of movement. Her connection to the seal weighed on her mind, but she couldn't afford to dwell on it now. The council's safety was the priority.

Kirin walked beside her, his eyes focused ahead. His silence was reassuring—he didn't need words to express his readiness. Elias, ever the tactician, led the group with measured precision, signaling silently to the scouts as they returned with updates. So far, there were no signs of sect activity, but Amara knew that didn't mean they were safe.

Morgana was in the rear, her dark robes blending with the shadows cast by the towering cliffs. Amara knew her friend was still working through the implications of the seal's magic, but for now, Morgana's mind was focused on ensuring no one followed them unnoticed.
