KELLY THOMPSON'S POV
The aftermath of that climactic battle was a blend of relief and uncertainty. As I knelt on the battlefield, I felt the weight of exhaustion pressing down on me, but it was overshadowed by an overwhelming sense of gratitude. We had triumphed against the Black Faes, but I knew that this victory was just a temporary reprieve. The darkness would not stay dormant for long; it was a persistent foe, lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike again.
As our warriors gathered around, cheering and embracing one another, I took a moment to collect my thoughts. The bond we shared had been tested, and we had emerged stronger for it. But I was acutely aware that this newfound strength would need to be nurtured and fortified. We had to learn from our experiences, to anticipate the strategies of our enemies, and to prepare for whatever darkness lay ahead.
