The atmosphere shifted as the crowd rallied behind Elara and Damien. The once menacing
presence of the woman began to wane under the collective strength of those around them.
"Leave now," Damien commanded, his voice echoing with authority. "You have no power
here."
For a moment, the woman hesitated, her confidence shaken by the sheer force of unity
surrounding Elara and Damien. "You think this is over? You're mistaken. The darkness will
return, and when it does, you'll wish you had accepted your fate."
"We'll be ready," Elara declared, her voice unwavering. "And we won't face it alone."
With a final scowl, the woman turned and slipped into the shadows, leaving behind a
palpable tension in the air. The crowd erupted into cheers, their voices a chorus of triumph
and solidarity.
