KELLY THOMPSON'S POV
As I stood at the forefront of our gathered warriors, I felt the weight of responsibility pressing heavily on my shoulders. I could see the determination etched on the faces of my comrades, their eyes reflecting the flickering flames of our torches and the urgency of the moment. The air was thick with anticipation, each warrior poised for the impending clash. I took a deep breath, grounding myself in the knowledge that we had trained hard for this day.
"Remember why we fight!" I shouted, my voice ringing out over the murmurs of anxiety. "We fight for our families, for our future, and for the bonds that unite us! No darkness can extinguish the light we carry within us!"
A chorus of affirmations erupted from our ranks, a powerful reminder of our shared purpose. Together, we could face whatever darkness awaited us. I could feel the energy building, the magic simmering just beneath the surface, ready to be unleashed.
