While Sarah and Marcella raced atop their horses, their mission driving them forward, they soon dismounted and commenced the treacherous ascent of the mountain. They secured the horses and began climbing using the rope ladder that led to the elevated spot where the life tree stood. Oblivious to the fact that Draven had fallen into the hands of the soul eaters, their sole focus was on reaching the life tree and the sword.
As Sarah finally reached the mountaintop, she wasted no time and headed straight for the warship that she had earlier landed there. In the meantime, Marcella approached the revered life tree, bowing before its majestic presence.
"Grant us your blessings and safeguard our tribe," Marcella murmured in a heartfelt prayer, her words a plea for protection and guidance in these dire times.
