Gift from the Life Tree

After Draven left the tent, the atmosphere inside became a little tense. Sarah, with concern in her eyes, turned to Karlan and spoke softly, "Karlan, I know you want to protect Draven from going down a dark path, but trying to stand in his way might not be the best approach."

Karlan sighed, understanding Sarah's point but not fully agreeing. "Sarah, you know as well as I do that absorbing souls is a dark and dangerous practice. I can't let him go down that road."

Sarah nodded in agreement. "I understand your concern, Karlan. But Draven is determined, and he won't listen to you if you confront him directly. If you try to stop him, it might only drive a wedge between you two."

As if in agreement with Sarah's words, Marcella chimed in, "She's right, Chief. We can't afford to let differences come between us, especially in this critical time. We need unity."
