As they spoke, the sound of commotion at the door drew everyone's attention. The noises outside abruptly ceased, replaced by an oppressive silence. A moment later, waves of powerful energy filled the room, so potent that the air itself seemed to tremble under their weight, becoming heavy and stifling.

Drevan's knees felt weak, and his breathing became labored as though he were carrying an invisible weight. Morwen clenched her fists at her sides, forcing herself to stand upright despite the overwhelming pressure.

All eyes turned to the grand entrance, and the entire room rose to their feet instinctively as three figures stepped into the chamber.
