CHAPTER 2: THE HIDDEN REBELLION.

Marcus's search leads him to a secret rebel camp deep in the forest. Here, he meets a diverse group of individuals, each with their own stories of oppression and suffering at the hands of the nobles. They are led by Isabella, a charismatic and determined leader who shares Marcus's desire for vengeance.

Isabella recognizes Marcus's blacksmithing talents and sees potential in him. She offers to train him in the art of espionage, sabotage, and guerrilla warfare. Marcus reluctantly agrees, knowing that this is the only way to bring down the nobles responsible for his family's misery.
