RESURGENCE

Eleanor rode through the forest in the early morning, feeling the cold air nipping at her skin. The fog lingered close to the ground, covering the trees with an eerie layer. Next to her, Lucas's presence provided a source of comfort that never wavered. His sharp eyes were always alert, scanning the surroundings constantly.

"We require allies," Eleanor announced, her voice strong and determined. "We are unable to wage this war on our own."

Lucas agreed with a mind that was already filled with various ideas. Our initial contact should be with the Stormridge Pack. They possess the numerical superiority and the tactical edge of their hilly landscape.

Eleanor caught his eye, a spark of optimism shining in her gaze. "Do you believe they will be willing to assist us?"

"They could," Lucas responded with careful consideration. Seraphina, their Alpha, has always placed importance on pack unity. She understands the danger that the Shadow Council presents to all of us.
