Scene 1: A Calm Before the Storm
The village had settled into a peaceful rhythm, the efforts of rebuilding and forging alliances succeeding. The once shadowed streets now thrived with life and color, children playing freely, and the sound of laughter echoing through the air. Mira walked through the village, taking in the serene atmosphere, but a lingering tension tugged at the edges of her consciousness.
Ethan walked in, his attitude also reflected her own apprehension. "Everything seems perfect, doesn’t it?" he said, his tone laced with a hint of skepticism.
Mira nodded, her eyes sweeping over the bustling village. "Too perfect. It feels like the calm before the storm."
The weight of her words remained hanging between them, a silent acknowledgment that the shadows they had fought might not be entirely vanquished. They had won a great victory, but Mira knew the echoes of darkness could still lurk in unseen corners, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
