The planning for the march began immediately. Maeve and her team set to work, creating flyers, reaching out to their allies, and organizing logistics. They wanted to ensure that this march would be monumental—a display of unity that would echo through the city.
As the day of the march approached, excitement filled the air. Maeve could feel the energy of the city shift as more and more people expressed their support. Community groups, labor unions, and even families began to join the movement, drawn together by a shared desire for change.
On the morning of the march, Maeve stood at the front of the gathering crowd, her heart swelling with pride as she looked out over the sea of faces. Thousands had come out to stand with them, their signs held high, voices ready to be heard.
“We are the Resistance!” Maeve shouted, her voice ringing through the air. “Today, we march not just for ourselves but for every person who has suffered under the Council’s tyranny!”
The crowd roared in response, and Maeve felt a thrill rush through her. This was it—the moment they had fought for, the chance to show the Council that they were not just a group of rebels, but a movement with the power to enact change.

As they marched through the streets, the atmosphere was electric. The people shouted slogans of freedom, their voices rising in a powerful chorus that resonated through the city. Maeve felt the energy surge around her as they moved together, a unified front against oppression.
But as they approached the Council building, Maeve’s heart raced with apprehension. She could see the guards lining the perimeter, their expressions grim and ready for confrontation. The tension in the air was palpable, and Maeve knew that they were walking a fine line.
“Stay strong!” she shouted, trying to keep the morale high. “We’re here to stand for our rights, and we will not back down!”

As they reached the steps of the Council building, Maeve stepped forward, her heart pounding. She raised her hand to silence the crowd. “Today, we declare that we are no longer afraid! We will not be silenced! We demand justice, freedom, and an end to the Council’s tyranny!”
The crowd erupted in cheers, their voices echoing off the walls of the building. But Maeve’s exhilaration was tempered by the sight of the guards preparing to contain the crowd. She could feel the tension mounting, the uncertainty hanging thick in the air.
Suddenly, a guard stepped forward, a megaphone in hand. “This assembly is unauthorized! Disperse immediately or face arrest!”
Maeve’s heart sank. The Council was not going to let them demonstrate without a fight. But she refused to back down. “We will not be intimidated!” she shouted back, her voice unwavering. “We will stand our ground!”

The crowd roared in response, their chants growing louder as they stood firm. Maeve felt the energy of the movement surge around her, a powerful wave of defiance. They were not just fighting for themselves; they were fighting for every citizen who had suffered under the Council’s rule.
But the guards began to move, forcing their way into the crowd. “Disperse now!” one shouted, brandishing a baton.
Panic erupted as the first confrontation broke out. Maeve felt her heart race as she saw people being pushed back, guards lunging into the crowd. “Stay together!” she yelled, trying to rally her comrades amidst the chaos.

As the clash intensified, Maeve fought her way through the throng, her focus on keeping her comrades safe. “We need to create a barrier!” she shouted to Dorian and Rona, who were beside her, their expressions resolute.
Together, they positioned themselves in front of the advancing guards, forming a line of resistance. “We won’t let them break us!” Maeve declared, raising her fist high.
The crowd rallied behind her, their voices rising in a unified chant. “We are the people! We will not be silenced!”

Despite the chaos surrounding them, Maeve felt a surge of determination. They were stronger together, and they would fight for their rights. As the guards continued to push forward, Maeve’s mind raced with thoughts of how to turn the tide.
“Rona! Dorian!” she shouted, her voice rising above the noise. “We need to make our stand here! We can’t let them divide us!”
With fierce resolve, they held their ground, pushing back against the guards. Maeve’s heart raced as she saw fellow Resistance members joining them, forming a chain of solidarity.
