KELLY THOMPSON'S POV
The days turned into weeks, and as the chill of winter set in, our camp buzzed with a mix of anticipation and anxiety. We had trained diligently, our warriors honing their skills in combat and strategy, pushing their limits in preparation for the inevitable confrontation with the Black Faes. My heart swelled with pride as I witnessed Eden stepping into his role as a leader. He was no longer just my son; he was becoming a beacon of hope for our warriors, his youthful enthusiasm infectious even in the face of looming darkness.
