A DECISION

Kaelen stood on the edge of the ruins, his thoughts heavy with the weight of everything that had transpired. The confrontation with the Dragonyx family had left a lasting impression on him and his companions, and the arrival of the Chancellor had given them a temporary reprieve. But deep down, Kaelen knew the Dragonyx family wouldn't give up so easily, Just like they did to his parents.

Guinevere, Eldric, Sofia, Ethan, and Morris gathered around him, their expressions a mix of concern and uncertainty. The bond between them had grown stronger through their trials, but the shadow of the Dragonyx family hung over them like an impending storm.

"We need to go back," Kaelen finally said, his voice steady but low. "The academy is the only place we can regroup and figure out our next move. We can't keep running forever, and I need answers."
