The clash of swords and the screams of battle filled the once-peaceful forest. Markus fought with conviction, his every strike calculated and precise. But despite their best efforts, the Shadow Order's soldiers overwhelmed them with their sheer numbers.
In the chaos, Markus caught sight of a figure moving through the chaos. It was Evelyn, her hands raised high as she prepared to cas a spell, but instead of fighting the enemy, she was striking her allies in the back. Betrayal coursed through Markus like a cold, cruel shock. He couldn't believe his eyes.
As the truth of Evelyn's betrayal sank in, Markus felt his heart shatter. This was a friend, a comrade he had trusted with his life. How could evelyn have betrayed them all?
Time seemed to slow down as Markus lunged towards evelyn, fueled by anger and betrayal. They locked in a dance of death, Markus heart filled with a mixture of sadness . Their blades clashed, and Markus fought with every ounce of strength, seeking some form of justice.
But the Shadow Order had the advantage now. Markus could hear the screams of his fellow comrades as they fell one by one. The battle was lost, and it was clear they could not fight their way out.
In a desperate, last-ditch effort to protect Blanche, Markus made a split-second decision. He grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the chaos, running deeper into the forest. They pushed through the underbrush, their breathing ragged and their hearts heavy.
Finally, they found temporary refuge in the hollow of a wide, ancient tree. Markus, Tanigri, Seraphine and magnus mangef to escape . Markus's mind was a whirlwind of emotions as he held Blanche close, the weight of their losses heavy upon them. Evelyns betrayal had cost them dearly, and mourning their fallen allies seemed almost impossible in the face of imminent danger.
Markus couldn't help but wonder how deep the corruption within their ranks truly went. In the midst of their grief, he vowed to uncover the truth, to find the rat that had led the Shadow Order to their location and put an end to their treachery.
But for now, they needed to find shelter, regroup, and mourn the loss of their trusted ally. The path ahead was uncertain and dangerous, but Markus was determined to fight on, fueled by a burning desire for justice and the need to protect those he still held dear.

Markus and the remaining rebels worked tirelessly to fortify their hideout, knowing that their enemies could strike at any moment. They reinforced the walls, set up traps, and prepared themselves for the battles to come.
But amidst the physical preparations, they also had to address the emotional fallout from Evelyn's betrayal. The wounds were still fresh, and trust was a fragile commodity among them. Each member had their own theories and suspicions, wondering if there were more traitors lurking in their midst.
Markus appointed a small group to investigate further, determined to get to the bottom of the betrayal. They delved into Evelyn's past, interviewing those who had known her before she joined their cause. The revelations that emerged were shocking and served as a painful reminder of the complexity of human nature.
They discovered that Evelyn had always been a master manipulator, apt at blending into different groups, always serving her own interests. She had spent years building a web of deceit and lies, ultimately leading her to infiltrate the rebel movement under the guise of a loyal ally.
The weight of their loss became even more pronounced as the investigation unveiled the extent of Evelyn's treachery. She had not only been leaking information to the Shadow Order but also sabotaging their missions and plotting to undermine their ultimate goal.
