Chapter 101: The Beginning of the New Journey

With the new energy running through their veins, Rodrigo, Olavo and Sebastião left the cave, feeling the weight of responsibility on their shoulders. The sky, previously covered by dark clouds, now shone with a pale tone, heralding the dawn of a new day. The world around them seemed different, as if the air itself was denser, charged with the magic that now inhabited their bodies.

"The sensation is strange," commented Olavo, moving his fingers as if to test his new strength. "As if something was pulsing inside me."

Sebastião, always more reserved, just nodded. He felt it too, but was still processing what it meant. Afonso, who was right behind, watched the three with an expression that mixed admiration and concern.

"This energy is powerful, but also dangerous," warned the old man. "You now carry something that can change the balance of things. They must learn to control it or they will end up becoming what they swore to fight."

Rodrigo looked at Afonso, pondering his words. He knew that their mission was far from over. The power they had acquired was not a definitive solution to the problems they faced. In fact, it was just the beginning of a new set of challenges.

"And where do we go now?" asked Sebastião, breaking the silence. "We can't go back to our lives as if nothing had happened."

Rodrigo looked around. The vast backlands stretched to the horizon, its dry and rugged landscapes representing the difficult terrain they would face from now on. He felt that something awaited them, something that would test everything they had just achieved.

"The war is still going on," Rodrigo said, his eyes fixed on the horizon. "And now that we have this power, we must use it to find the root of the evil that threatens us all. The war mage, the corrupted guilds... they are just the beginning."

Afonso sighed. "Are you ready for this? There is no turning back from the path you have chosen. More enemies will emerge, and the further you go, the more the truth will come out."

Rodrigo looked at his companions and, seeing the determination in their eyes, knew they were ready. No matter what came next, they would face it together.

"We are ready," Rodrigo replied firmly. "And we are just getting started."

With that, the group prepared to set off into the unknown, knowing that the real journey—and the real dangers—were just beginning.
