Emberheart: Shadows of Rebellion [Book 2]

Chapter 16: The Call to Arms

With the ritual behind them, Galen and his friends felt invigorated, their connection to the Emberheart stronger than ever. They returned to the safehouse, determined to take action against the Shadow Coven.

The following day, they gathered their allies, the mercenaries, and anyone willing to stand against the dark forces threatening Blackport. Faye took the lead, her voice unwavering as she addressed the group.

"We've faced a great darkness, but we are not alone. Together, we can protect our home and our people. The Shadow Coven wants the Emberheart, but we will not let them take it!"

The crowd erupted into cheers, the atmosphere electric with determination. Galen felt a surge of hope as he looked at his friends, their faces set with purpose.

Jin stepped forward, ready to share their intelligence. "We believe the Coven is planning to strike again, and we need to be prepared. We'll set traps around the city and patrol the docks, where they seem to gather."

Mira nodded, her eyes sharp. "We also need to establish a lookout system. I can coordinate with our allies to ensure we have eyes everywhere."

As they outlined their strategy, Galen felt the weight of their mission settle upon him. "We'll be the guardians of Blackport," he declared. "And we won't let the darkness win."
