The quest begins

 (Chapter 71:Mira's Pov) 

 The weight of our world's disunity pressed heavily upon my heart. Gathered with Caelyn, Lorenzo, Vincenzo, and Selene in the dimly lit council chamber, I felt the urgency of our mission intensify.

 "We cannot stand idly by as our kin remain scattered and alliances crumble," I asserted, my voice echoing off the ancient stone walls. "We must seek the Elders' counsel and gain their blessing for a journey to reunite with my brothers and forge new alliances."

 Caelyn's eyes met mine, her expression a blend of concern and determination. "Mira, the Elders are set in their ways. They may not easily endorse such a perilous quest."

 Lorenzo crossed his arms, his brow furrowing. "She's right. They might see this as a fool's errand."

 I took a deep breath, steeling myself. "Regardless, we must try. Their support could be pivotal. I will request an audience with them."
