Dorian and Lyra traversed the rugged landscape towards Wyvern Clan territory.
As they approached the clan's stronghold – a fortified citadel carved into the mountainside –
Kaelin Darkhunter emerged, her piercing blue eyes narrowing slightly.
"Lyra Eldrida's apprentice," Kaelin said. "And the last Eldrid scion. What brings you to our lands?"
Lyra stepped forward:
"Kaelin, old friend – we seek alliance against Korvus. Will your clan stand with us?"
Kaelin's gaze locked onto Dorian:
"I owe Lyra a debt, but your cause requires clan consensus."
She led them into the citadel's great hall, where Wyvern Clan elders and warriors gathered.
Dorian began his plea:
"Honored elders and warriors of Wyvern Clan, Korvus threatens Tenebrous with darkness. My bloodline holds the key to stopping him.
I've wielded ancient magic in battle – magic that could aid our alliance."
Elder Thoric Stonefist scrutinized Dorian:
"What proof offers that your magic still flows strong?"
Lyra intervened:
"I've seen him summon powerful spells, Elder Thoric. His potential is undeniable."
Dorian raised his hands, and a soft blue glow erupted around them – a spark of his divine magic.
The Wyvern Clan elders exchanged impressed glances.
Kaelin Darkhunter nodded decisively:
"By the claws of our ancestors, we ally with Dorian Eldrid. What strategy shall we employ against Korvus?"
The elders and warriors cheered in agreement, sealing the alliance.
Dorian smiled grimly:
"Our next move: recruit the Moonwhisper Elves..."
Lyra nodded:
"Their archers would bolster our forces significantly. Shall we send an envoy or go ourselves?"
