Chapter 33: Strength and determination
The sound of marching boots echoed through the air as Evangeline led her troops towards the heart of the Nightshade Brotherhood's lair. The forest loomed before them, its ancient trees casting long shadows over the path.
Evangeline turned to her loyal commanders, her voice carrying strength and determination. "Stay vigilant, my friends. The enemy may be lurking in these woods, but we have the element of surprise on our side."
The troops nodded, their eyes fixed on their leader. They had trained for this moment, honing their skills and preparing for the battle that would determine the fate of the kingdom.
As they ventured deeper into the forest, the air grew thick with tension. Every rustle of leaves and crack of branches set their senses on high alert. They knew that danger could strike from any direction.
