Chapter 1839: The Flames of Renewal

The embers of the previous night's campfire still glowed as the caravan stirred in the pale light of dawn. The Veiled Wood, with its ancient boughs and whispering leaves, had lent its quiet secrets to each soul.

With the Emberheart's steady light pulsing against his side, he felt the weight of destiny like a mantle draped upon his shoulders. Today, he knew, the unity that had seen them through so many trials would soon be met by a force as unpredictable as fire. The promise of renewal was never without its price.
