Leia and Sylas, along with Minah and Evan, left the eventful and tumultuous assembly hall and stepped into the night. It was quiet and still, with only occasional gusts of night wind bringing a chill. Their footsteps echoed on the ancient cobblestone road, accompanied by the faint moonlight casting long shadows.
Leia still felt heavy-hearted. Even though Darien's plot had been exposed, she knew it was just the tip of the iceberg. She turned to Sylas with a hint of inquiry in her eyes, "Do you think Darien will give up now?"
Sylas's gaze was serious, and he analyzed calmly: "Darien's ambition will not end here. He definitely has a backup plan. We need to prepare for a more complex situation."
Aiven gripped the sword tightly, his voice firm: "No matter what plan Darien has, we will confront it head-on."
Minah nodded gently, her eyes shimmering with wisdom: "We need more information to understand Darien's movements in order to effectively devise a strategy."
The four of them stopped under an ancient bridge, where the stream below flowed gently, emitting a soft sound as if telling the ancient legends of this land. Leia looked up at the starry sky, took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions.
Sylas Upon seeing the situation, he furrowed his brows, as if pondering something. After a while, he suddenly spoke, "We need to split up and gather information from different directions. Leia, you and Aven will head to the northern border, where the situation is most complex and where it's easiest to find traces of Darien."
Leia nodded, her eyes shimmering with determination. "I understand. We will proceed with caution."
Minah gently touched her wand and smiled, saying, "I will stay here to further study magic and search for ways to counter Darien's dark magic."
Evan gently patted Leia's shoulder in support, saying, "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together."
Sylas then turned around and looked into the distant darkness: "I will head to the east to make contact with the dragon clan and seek their support. We need all possible allies."
In the moonlight, the four figures appeared particularly resolute, with different gleams in their eyes, but all sharing the same determination.
Leia and Aiven chose a path leading north, which passed through ancient forests and vast plains. But for Leia, this was the adventure she loved. Riding alongside Aiven, they traversed the forest in the darkness of night, her heart filled with the excitement of the challenge.
Sylas transformed into a dragon, soaring through the night sky towards the eastern dragon clan's sacred land, where many powerful dragons resided. Sylas knew that to confront a formidable enemy like Darien, they needed the power of the dragon clan. As he flew, Sylas was filled with longing for his people and worries about the future, but he also understood that for the peace of this land, he had to be strong.
Minah stayed in an ancient tower, filled with various magical and ancient books. She eagerly studied each book, hoping to find the key to combat Darien's dark magic. Every quiet night, Minah would stand on the top of the tower, gazing at the starry sky, her heart filled with longing for her companions and a thirst for victory.
And so, Leia and her companions each embarked on a new journey. This battle is far from over, as Darien's shadow still looms over the land.
In the depths of the ancient forest, Leia and Evan rode their horses through winding paths, with moonlight filtering through the dense canopy, dappling their figures. Leia led the way, her golden hair billowing in the night breeze, her blue eyes shining like the brightest stars in the night sky, resolute.
"Evan, we must pick up the pace. The intelligence from the north is crucial," Leia said, looking back at Evan following closely, her tone determined.
Evan nodded, his eyes filled with trust: "Leia, we have always been able to overcome all difficulties, and this time is no exception."
They stopped in a vast open area, surrounded by trees standing like guardians, their shadows stretching long in the moonlight. Leia dismounted from her horse, her movements agile and decisive. She walked to a giant rock, gently touching its moss-covered surface, as if feeling the pulse of the earth.
"Evan, there are ancient runes carved on this stone. We may have found a secret passage to the northern border," Leia's voice carried a hint of excitement.
Evan walked over, carefully examining the runes. A hint of admiration appeared on his face. "Leia, your observation skills are truly remarkable. This secret passage could be our shortcut."
They followed the guidance of the runes and found a concealed cave entrance, covered by vines and leaves, making it difficult to spot without careful observation. Leia and Aven entered the cave, which was dim and damp, with only the torches in their hands dispelling the chill.
The cave twisted and turned, and they carefully made their way through, sometimes needing to climb rugged cliffs and other times needing to cross bottomless crevices. Leia's courage and decisiveness led them forward, while Aven used his sturdy shoulders to bear the responsibility of protection, remaining vigilant for potential dangers around them.
At the same time, far to the east, Sylas transformed into a dragon and soared through the night sky. His dragon wings cut through the air with astonishing speed. He was heading towards the sacred land of the dragon clan, hoping to persuade the elders to support and assist him.
The dragon clan's sacred land was hidden within a towering mountain range, a place that served as both their sacred ground and their home. When Sylas landed on that hallowed ground, his emotions were incredibly complex. On one hand, he felt relieved to be back in that land once more, but on the other hand, he was nervous about the negotiations that lay ahead.
The elders of the dragon clan are a group of dragons with a long history and great power, and they have always kept their distance from the affairs of the human world. But Sylas knows that the threat of Darien can no longer be ignored. He must convince the elders to make them realize that this battle concerns the future of the entire continent.
Sylas stands in the center of the dragon clan's council hall, his posture upright and his gaze determined. He begins his statement in the ancient language of the dragon clan, his voice echoing through the hall, every word filled with strength and sincerity.
"Respected elders, our dragon clan has always been the guardian of the continent, our power protecting this land and all its creatures. But now, a great threat is quietly approaching. Darien's conspiracy is not just a threat to humans, but to the entire continent."
Sylas's words resonated with the dragon elders, and a thoughtful gleam passed through their eyes. After intense discussion, the dragon elders ultimately decided to support Sylas and contribute the dragon clan's power to this righteous battle.
In a quiet corner of the ancient tower, Minah sat alone at a worn wooden table, surrounded by books exuding the scent of time. The cover of the magic book in her hand had been eroded by time, appearing somewhat tattered, but this did not affect its intrinsic value. Minah's eyes were filled with a passion for magic and a thirst for knowledge. She believed that within these ancient texts, there must be secrets that could combat Darien's dark magic.
As she gently turned the pages, each one contained powerful and mysterious magical knowledge. Minah's fingers lightly touched the edges of the pages, her movements extremely cautious, fearing she might damage these precious documents. At times, she would concentrate deeply, and at other times, she would furrow her brow, her expression changing with the content she was reading.
"Here it mentions an ancient protective spell," Minah murmured, "It requires extremely high magical control ability, as well as four rare magical materials."
Her gaze darted back and forth on the page, trying to remember every detail. A hint of determination appeared on her face, showing her resolve to overcome dark magic. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she had found a crucial piece of information in a corner of the book.
"Indeed, this barrier not only resists dark magic, but also reflects a portion of the magical attacks back to the caster," Minah murmured, her face showing a rare excitement.
She quickly picked up the parchment and ink next to her, and began earnestly recording this important discovery. Her penmanship was fluent and powerful, with each symbol depicted accurately. In this moment, Minah was completely immersed in the world of magic, as if everything else in the outside world was irrelevant to her.
After finishing her records, Minah took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tried to construct the magical image of this powerful barrier in her mind. A hint of concentration appeared on her face, and tiny beads of sweat could be seen on her forehead. This focus and effort truly depicted Minah as a true magical scholar.
When she opened her eyes, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, as if she had already grasped the key to confronting Darien. This was just one part of many preparations, but each step forward filled her with confidence for the ultimate victory. She gently closed the book, stood up, and looked out the window with determination, silently vowing to herself: no matter how great the difficulties, she would protect this land and the people she loved with her wisdom and magic.
When the night is quiet, Minah stands on the top of the tower, gazing at the starry sky. In her heart, there is both concern for her companions and a desire for victory.
And so, Leia and her companions each embark on a new journey. This battle is far from over, as Darien's shadow still looms over this land.
