Inside their secluded castle, Salesi and Elara observed the ongoing battle between the Dark Lord and the remnants of the Guardian Guild. The once-mighty guild now stood in ruins, their defense feeble against the unstoppable force before them. Elara and her fellow council members were left with a bitter realization: the guild's days of glory had come to an end.
On the table in front of them, a collection of shimmering golden crystals radiated with potent energy. These precious artifacts held immense power, capable of summoning the formidable guardian dragons. Elara's gaze lingered on the crystals, tempted to employ their strength once more in a desperate attempt to turn the tides. However, Salesi's voice cut through the air, bringing her back to reality.
