บท 1462: Chapter 1462: Allies and Enemies

The sun had barely risen when Kael, Elara, and Lyra set out from their makeshift camp, the echoes of their night's rest still lingering in their minds. The forest was quiet, the usual morning chorus of birds notably absent, as if the very air was holding its breath in anticipation of the battles to come.

Kael led the way, his senses on high alert. The path ahead was uncertain, but their destination was clear: they needed to find allies who could help them in their fight against the True Shadow. The Codex of Shadows had revealed that the ritual to banish the darkness required the combined power of many, and they knew they couldn't do it alone.

Elara walked beside Kael, her staff tapping softly against the ground, the runes glowing faintly. She held the Codex close, her mind still racing with the knowledge it contained. The rituals, the incantations, the ancient secrets—all of it was a complex tapestry that she was slowly beginning to unravel.
