The elven kingdom of Eldorien basked in the ethereal glow of ancient trees and shimmering magic. In the heart of the kingdom, Thalion, a young elven prince, stood before his parents, King Galadon and Queen Thalia. The news of seeking assistance from the Loyal Guardians of Eternity had sparked curiosity and concern in the young prince's eyes.



Thalion:father, Mother

Thalion began, his voice carrying the weight of youthful determination,



Thalion:why do we need the help of the Loyal Guardians of Eternity? Surely, the elves of Eldorien can handle any disturbances within our realm on our own. Why involve outsiders in our affairs?

King Galadon, his regal presence marked by centuries of wisdom, regarded his son with a mixture of understanding and the responsibility of leadership.

Galadon:my son, the disturbances we face in our magical ley lines are unlike anything we've encountered before. The Loyal Guardians of Eternity possess unique skills and insights that may prove invaluable in resolving this matter.

Thalia, the queen, added

Thalia:Our decision to seek assistance is not a reflection of any perceived weakness, but rather a recognition of the gravity of the situation. The magical balance of Eldorien is delicate, and we must act swiftly and decisively to restore it.

Thalion, however, remained steadfast in his belief in elven capabilities.

Thalion:But Mother, Father, our people have faced challenges throughout the ages, and we've always overcome them together. Why should we entrust such matters to outsiders?
