“Now!” Maeve yelled, sensing an opportunity. “Push forward!”

The Resistance surged as the guards turned, confused by the sudden distraction. The momentum shifted as the crowd took the chance to push back against the guards, reclaiming their space.

“Keep moving!” Maeve shouted, leading the charge. They fought with renewed energy, determined to show the Council that they could not be easily silenced.

Dorian smiled, his voice filled with excitement. “This is only the start. We’ve shown them our strength today.”
