Pride

KELLY THOMPSON'S POV

As the moon hung high in the night sky, casting a silver glow over our camp, I gathered my allies once more. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as we discussed our next steps.

“Whatever they’re planning, we need to stay one step ahead,” I said, my voice steady. “We’ve come too far to let our guard down now.”

Jason stood beside me, his expression fierce. “We’ll fortify our defenses and gather intelligence on their movements. We can’t afford to be caught off guard again.”

Lunara and Stellan exchanged glances, their expressions serious. “We must also prepare our magic,” Lunara said. “If they intend to strike, we need to be ready to counter their dark magic.”

As we finalized our plans, I felt a surge of resolve. We were stronger together, and we would face the darkness head-on.

But as the days turned into nights, the feeling of unease lingered. I could sense the tension building, each day bringing us closer to the inevitable confrontation.
