Chapter 1313: Echoes of the Past, Seeds of the Future

The dawn of a new season had come to the Sanctuary, its gentle warmth carrying the promise of another cycle of growth. The air was thick with the scent of earth and blossoms, and beneath the vibrant canopy of leaves, life thrived as it always had. The villagers, once survivors of a world torn apart by war, had transformed into builders of a future that no longer seemed haunted by shadows.

Yet even in the midst of such tranquility, Kael found himself drawn to the quiet places—the edge of the forest where the trees whispered ancient secrets, the rocky outcrops that overlooked the valley, where the world below seemed to breathe in rhythm with his own thoughts. Though the peace they had won felt as real as the ground beneath his feet, the weight of the past still lingered, echoing in the corners of his mind.
