The king had told me that help was desperately needed in the battle against the Dark Lord's forces, but I knew there was more to it than just a battle between heroes and villains. There were hidden forces in the shadows, testing us all.
The next day, a general came to take us to the front line. He was a tall man, wearing magical armor that shone with strange colors. His eyes were full of wisdom, but he looked very ruthless.
The general said,
"You, the heroes summoned, must fight alongside our army. But remember: the enemy is unlike anything you have seen before."
I nodded, ready to face anything. Lilia stood beside me, her violet eyes shining as if she were watching every movement around us.
As we marched toward the front, we began to hear the sounds of battle getting closer. The ground shook beneath our feet, as if the battle had already begun.
