The Battle of the Crystalwoods had ended, but an unnatural stillness persisted in its wake. Oliver surveyed the ravaged land, taking in the cracked earth, the smoldering burns, and the lingering traces of corruption that would need time to fully dissipate. They had triumphed, but at a grave cost.
Elara came up beside Oliver, her gaze drifting over the destruction. There was sorrow in her eyes at the damage inflicted upon their home. Elyndra joined them as well, her expression grave. For a long moment, the three stood in silence, the weight of their victory still sinking in.
Eventually, Elyndra spoke, her voice soft but resolute. "We should convene the council."
Oliver and Elara nodded. With the Crystalwoods now temporarily freed from Morgarath's grasp, it was time to begin the next phase - restoring balance by reviving the realm's lost elemental harmony.
