Blackie's Resurrection

Drakina, Ophelia, and the sergeants were marching back to Zovania Citadel, a sense of victory in their steps after the successful mission. Their faces bore smiles of achievement, and their conversation was light, filled with the thrill of victory. However, this mood was abruptly shattered when a holographic screen materialized in front of them, the words glaringly clear: "Blackie has died."

"What?!" Ophelia exclaimed, her usual playful tone replaced by shock. Her eyes widened, and her steps faltered, almost stumbling in disbelief. "This can't be right. Blackie, defeated?" she questioned aloud, looking around at her companions for answers.

Drakina, usually composed, stopped in her tracks. Her stoic face betrayed a flicker of concern as she stared at the screen. "This changes everything," she said, her voice low and serious. "We must return to the citadel immediately."
