The Confrontation

The sun hung low on the horizon, casting long shadows over the village that had borne the brunt of Casmir's attack. Isabella, Alexander, and Adrian stood at the edge of the devastated settlement, the destruction around them a harsh reminder of the consequences of Casmir's actions.

As they waited for Casmir to arrive, Isabella's heart raced with a mix of dread and anticipation. She had seen the evidence of his dark scheme, and she knew that this confrontation would reveal the true depths of his intentions.

"I will protect you if the situation arises." Adrian murmured to Isabella. "But I don't believe Casmir has any ill intent toward you, I am more worried for our sake." He gestured to Alexander and himself with a small chuckle to lighten her mood.
