CHAPTER 23: ECHOES OF THE PAST

Scene 1: Return to the Village

The victorious group returned to the village they had left behind, where their journey began. The sun bathed the landscape in a golden hue, casting long shadows over the familiar streets. The villagers came out from their homes, their behaviors was a mixture of curiosity and hope as they saw Mira and her companions approach.

Children ran to greet them, their laughter filling the air, while the elders watched with cautious optimism. Mira felt a sharp pain of emotion as she saw the familiar faces, realizing how much had changed since they last stood here.

"We did it," Ethan murmured, his gaze sweeping over the village. "We brought back the light."

Mira nodded, her heart swelling with pride and relief. "Let’s share our story and bring them peace."
