Scene 1: The Calm Before the Storm
The winds howled outside the grove, the sky darkened further by ominous clouds. Ruhaan, Tara, and Nyssa huddled close around a small fire, its light casting long shadows on the trees around them. Despite the warmth of the flames, there was an unmistakable chill in the air—an eerie sense of being watched.
Tara: “This storm feels unnatural. It’s not just weather—it’s him.”
Ruhaan tightened his grip on the Pendant of Lumina, its warmth soothing but not enough to shake his growing unease.
Ruhaan: “The Harbinger’s forces must know we’ve reached the Realm of Echoes. He’s trying to intimidate us.”
Nyssa, ever calm, looked around, sensing the energy of the storm.
Nyssa: “The Harbinger thrives on fear and chaos. But we’ve prepared for this. Stay focused on what we’ve learned.”

Scene 2: The Assault Begins
Just as Nyssa finished speaking, the winds outside roared, and a deafening crack of thunder shook the ground beneath them. Dark figures began to emerge from the shadows of the storm, their eyes glowing with malevolent energy.
Tara: “They’ve found us!”
From the shadows, the Harbinger’s minions—a twisted mass of demonic entities and shadow creatures—lunged toward the grove. Their forms seemed to shift and morph, each more terrifying than the last.
Ruhaan: “We have to hold them off! If they overwhelm us here, we won’t make it to the convergence points.”
He summoned his energy, the Pendant glowing brightly as he prepared for battle. Tara stepped beside him, flames dancing at her fingertips, ready to unleash her power.

Scene 3: The Battle for Survival
The first wave of enemies hit with brutal force. Ruhaan and Tara fought side by side, their movements perfectly synchronized after so many battles together. Ruhaan's energy blasts cut through the shadows, while Tara’s flames erupted, setting the ground alight and sending several minions screaming into the dark.
Nyssa: “I’ll hold the barrier!”
Nyssa raised her hands, summoning a protective shield of light around them, but the sheer number of enemies pressed in from all sides, testing their defenses.
Ruhaan: “There are too many of them!”
The shadow creatures multiplied with each passing second, their claws and fangs glinting in the storm's flashes of lightning. But as exhaustion began to wear on them, Tara's resolve hardened.
Tara: “We can’t give in! Remember why we’re fighting—this is for all the realms!”

Scene 4: The Pendant's Awakening
As the battle raged on, Ruhaan’s focus shifted to the Pendant of Lumina. It pulsed with a stronger light, almost as if responding to the danger surrounding them. He glanced at Tara, a thought forming.
Ruhaan: “The Pendant! It amplifies our powers—we need to use it, now!”
Tara nodded, understanding. Together, they touched the pendant, focusing their energy through it. A wave of intense heat and light exploded outward, sweeping through the grove and obliterating the nearest shadow creatures in an instant.
Tara: “It’s working!”
But the energy surge came with a cost. Both of them staggered slightly, feeling the strain of channeling so much power.
