Lela watched in horror as Natura, once a vibrant and beautiful village, was now a scene of destruction and chaos. Trees lay on the ground, their branches broken and lifeless, while the homes and buildings were engulfed in flames. The air was thick with smoke and the sounds of screams and cries filled her ears.
As they made their way through the wreckage, Lela and her friends walked in silence, too stunned to speak. They could only watch as people ran past them, some carrying their belongings, others carrying wounded loved ones. It was a nightmare come to life.
Suddenly, a figure came running towards them, their face contorted with fear. Ophelia, always quick to take action, stepped in front of the person and stopped them in their tracks. Lela could see the relief wash over the stranger's face as Ophelia quickly assessed the situation and offered a comforting hand.
"What happened here?" Lela finally managed to ask, her voice shaking with emotion.
"It was an attack," the stranger replied, their voice trembling. "An enemy army marched through here, burning everything in their path."
Lela's heart sank even further. How could anyone do something so heartless and destructive? As they continued to make their way through the wreckage, Lela couldn't help but wonder how many more villages had suffered the same fate. And if there was any hope left for their world.
"What is going on?" Ophelia asked the girl as they continued to run away from the violent man.
"The King has gone mad, he started killing everyone in Natura," the girl replied between panicked breaths. "You better keep running, he and his soldiers are coming!"
Lela and her friends turned to see the man who was causing chaos and destruction in Natura. He was surrounded by a group of soldiers, all armed with swords and bows.
"We can't just leave these people behind," Lela said, determination filling her voice. "We have to do something."
"But we don't have any weapons or magic to fight against them," Max pointed out.
"We have Ophelia," Lela countered. "Her powers can help us escape or fight if needed."
Ophelia looked hesitant at first but then nodded in agreement. She concentrated and created a strong gust of wind that pushed the group forward, helping them to flee from the danger.
As they ran through the destroyed village, they saw more innocent people being killed by the King's soldiers. Lela felt anger boiling inside her at the injustice of it all.
"We need to stop them," she said as they reached a clearing outside Natura.
"But how? We can't take on an entire army," Ethan said worriedly.
"We don't have to," Ophelia said with a determined look in her eyes. "I can sense someone else nearby with powerful magic. If we join forces, we might stand a chance against them."
Without wasting any time, they followed Ophelia's lead and headed towards where she sensed the powerful presence of magic.
They soon came across another group of people, also trying to escape from the King's wrath. Among them was a young woman who seemed to radiate magic energy.
"Are you here to stop the King?" she asked as soon as she saw Lela's group approaching.
"Yes, we need to find a way to defeat him and his soldiers..."
"What do you want from us?" Lela stated, her voice trembling with fear and defiance, as the man started walking towards them.
The man stopped and looked at them with a gaze filled with aggression and madness. Blood covered his face, hands, and body, giving him a sinister appearance.
