Moment of time Elara and her companions in the Void after defeating Xerkoz the Void
As Elara plunged the True Moonlight Sword into the ground, a sudden reaction occurred – the ring, the eye of Zeirsulair, responded. Elara utilized the last of her remaining energy, and with the aid of the ring, she created a portal that enveloped them.
5 year later
As the portal closed, Zarek regained consciousness and opened his eyes, finding himself back in their own world. Zarek enthusiastically exclaimed, "Everyone, it looks like we managed to escape the Void safely!"
Mikaela, awakening from her stupor, concurred, "Yes, you're right, Zarek."
Khai, ever perceptive, added, "Hold on... could it be..."
Mikaela continued, her eyes widening with realization, "This land... this is the Land of Eldar, our homeland! Sister! We've finally returned to our world!" Mikaela's joyous expression shifted to concern as she noticed Elara was not among them. "Sister?" she called out, searching for Elara's presence. The air was filled with a mix of relief and worry as they realized that their journey was far from over.
In the wake of their return to the Land of Eldar, Rina and Imzyh stirred, their eyes flickering open. Imzyh, with a hint of relief, remarked, "So, we finally made it back to our world."
Rina, her gaze observing their surroundings, added with a note of concern, "Yes, but... Elara is missing."
Zarek, his expression with worry, affirmed, "We have to find her. I'm concerned something may have happened to her." Just as the group contemplated their next move, the distant sound of approaching hoofbeats caught their attention.
A group of knights appeared, their leader sternly addressing them, "Halt! Who are you? Where are you coming from?" The air grew tense as the two groups faced each other, uncertainty hanging in the air.
The leader of the knights, observing Mikaela with suspicion, accused, "You! In that black-faded attire, you're a member of the Black Order Assassins, a threat to us! Prepare to die!" Tensions heightened, and the prospect of a confrontation loomed.
However, a commanding voice interjected. "Wait! Hold on!" The familiarity of the voice registered with Zarek, Khai, Mikaela, Rina, and Imzyh. As the source of the voice drew near, everyone recognized the face. Zarek exclaimed, "Samael!"
Samael, with a smile, responded, "Hey, everyone. I'm so glad to find you at this time." The atmosphere shifted from hostility to curiosity as Samael's unexpected presence sparked a wave of questions and uncertainties among both groups.
The leader of the knights, identified as General Hoax, seemed surprised. "My prince, you know them?"
Samael, the prince, grinned. "General Hoax, of course I know them. They are friends I've mentioned to you before. Come, let's head back to the camp. The camp is the safest place."
Relief washed over the group as Samael's status as a prince and his recognition of their friendship diffused the tense situation. The prospect of a safer environment in the camp added a glimmer of hope to their reunion.
Khai, with a furrowed brow, asked Samael, "How can you be sure this place is safe?"
Samael confidently replied, "Of course, it's safe. This place is blessed with the tears of Hohes. Its droplets can protect us from Thrush."
Khai nodded in understanding, saying, "I see."
Samael then shifted the conversation, "Anyway, it's been 5 years. Where is Elara?"
