Chapter Twenty Four: Bound by Fate, Torn by Secrets

Later that Evening – The Community Gathering under the stars, the mothers and sisters of Overa gathered for their evening feast, the tension in the air palpable. Mother Rozia stood at the head of the gathering, her voice clear and strong as she announced the passing of Mother Elara.

“Our beloved Mother Elara is no longer with us in body, but her spirit will guide us into the new world,” Rozia said, her eyes glistening. “As her power manifested, she knew her time had come. Yet even in death, her light remains.”

At that moment, a faint shimmering crystal light appeared above the gathering, floating like a distant star. The community gasped, many overcome with grief and awe. Farewell wishes were murmured softly, as the light drifted above them.
