Conflict!

Bang!

Kris could no longer contain her anger. She slammed her fist on the table, grabbed her giant sword, and shot to her feet, her eyes burning with fury. "Geus, you can insult me, but if you dare insult Raymond, you're asking for trouble!"

Sotoler, who had tried to calm Kris moments before, now drew his longbow in one swift motion. He pulled the bowstring back with deadly precision, aiming an arrow straight at Geus and his team. "Raymond saved our lives in the Moonlight Forest," he said coldly. "How dare you insult him!"

Griffin and Delona also quickly drew their weapons, their chests heaving with the anger and tension that had built up. They were ready for a fight.

Geus, unfazed, smirked and stepped forward. "Kris, do you think we're scared of you?" he sneered.

The warriors in Geus's team raised their shields and positioned themselves in front, while the archers and mages took cover behind them, readying their bows and spells.
