Darius wiped the blood trickling down his shoulder, his eyes sharp as he scanned their surroundings. With a swift motion, he unsheathed his sword, its blade glinting in the faint light filtering through the dense forest canopy.

"Stay alert!" he barked, his voice cutting through the tense silence. The soldiers tightened their grips on their weapons, forming a protective circle. Leaves rustled above them, and Darius's gaze shot upward, narrowing at the sound.

Suddenly, a vine as thick as a man's arm whipped down from the trees, wrapping itself around one of the soldiers. The man screamed as he was yanked into the air.

"Nooo! Hold on!" Darius shouted, his eyes blazing with determination.

Before he could act, Morgana raised her hand, a white glow emanating from the fingers.
