The new defenders.
The next figure to emerge was an elf from Sacred Roots. His presence radiated serenity and wisdom, and his golden hair shimmered like sunlight filtering through leaves. He bore the markings of an ancient lineage, and his posture exuded calm authority.
"Eren Valen," Donovan announced, "Defender from the Sacred Roots."
Eren nodded, his gaze sweeping the circle. "I will do my best to serve, the world" he said, his voice carrying the weight of his duties to come.
The fourth defender appeared in a burst of raw, untamed energy. A female werewolf stepped through, her silver fur gleaming under the moonlight as she shifted into human form.
She had brown skin, her face blooming with happiness as her piercing blue eyes scanned the gathered council with enthusiasm.
"Lyra West," Donovan declared, "Defender from the Lunar Kingdom."
Lyra crossed her arms, a smile playing on her lips. "I cannot believe this! I am a defender, this is such an honour."
