Chapter 103 - 25

After the legendary battle of Calenwood, in which ** Carmen Sutton ** was captured and ** Esmond Dundragon ** was executed, the climate in ** Skulls and Dragons ** was loaded with new feelings and opinions. The people, now free from tyranny, began to discuss the implications of recent events. The taverns, markets and squares became the fervent dialog centers about what had happened.

### Dialogues in the Eldinor Tavern

** Scene 1: Star Guardian Tavern **

*A group of elves gathers at a table, their faces illuminated by the candlelight while discussing the new directions of their people.*

** ELION, the Elder of the Tavern: **

- Carmen's fall and Esmond's death changed everything! Finally, we are free from your infernal claws.

** Lira, a young elf, with a sparkle in the eyes: **

"I never thought I would see the day the traitor would be defeated." ** Elliott **, although she is her son, brought justice and hope to us!

** Finn, a group friend: **

"But we can't forget who he is." The son of a traitor should not be considered a savior without caveats. Still, right now, we need to unite and support what we have.

### Comments on the Faelior market

** Scene 2: Market of Hope **

*The inhabitants move hurriedly, but conversations about the latest news do not stop.*

** Carmen, a fruit saleswoman: **

- The story of Esmond's death spread like fire in Campo Seco. It seems that the elves are now the true rulers of their destiny!

** Garon, the blacksmith: **

- And what about ** Elliott Wigan **? Some see him as a good man, but others still suspect his ties with Carmen. Is it a son of betrayal to be accepted?

** Lian, a young trader: **

- I see the boy as a last opportunity for redemption. If he learns from his mother's actions and is a fair leader, he may change our future!

### Reflections in an assembly of guerrillas

** Scene 3: Assembly in a hidden forest **

*The remaining guerrillas of Ghordun and Gharok argue about the new order that forms.*

** Aryanna, a former rebel leader: **

"What surprised us wasn't just Esmond's death, but Elliott's courage. He summoned the Krakens and fought alongside his allies - it's not something I expected!

** Talin, a young guerrilla: **

- We need to be careful. The story is full of twists. We need to observe what Elliott does next. He is our ally, but doubts still persist.

### Articles in the newspapers

** Title of a newspaper: ** "The end of tyranny and the emergence of the new leader: who is Elliott Wigan?"

**Article:**

"After the historic battle of Calenwood, the elf people begin a new era of freedom, but the shadow of doubt remains on the young ** Elliott Wigan **. Carmen Sutton's son, a recognized traitor, Elliott justified his actions to fight for his freedom - but the fact that he became a Savior may change perceptions."

** Reactions of readers: **

- A savior or a son of betrayal? The future of ** Skulls and Dragons ** may depend on it, but doubt persists.

### Discussions in City Square

** Scene 5: Gharok Central Square **

*Voices rise, mingling with the sound of the people who celebrate their freedom.*

** OLD BAIRRO: **

- What was done to Esmond and Carmen must remind us of what power is. The promises of betrayal come from anyone! What do we have left, given what this child can do?

** Young Elf: **

- We must give him a chance! If he really wants to free the elves and find justice, we need to believe in his ability to change.

** OLD BAIRRO: **

"Time will say whether he is really a lighthouse of hope or just the heir to a betrayal." Care and surveillance are necessary, but also a little faith.

### FINAL REFLECTION

Conversations in ** Skulls and Dragons ** began to mark a new dialogue between citizens, reflecting their anxieties and hopes. The figure of ** Elliott Wigan **, associated with power myths, became increasingly complex. While some saw him like a Savior, others were still reluctant to his past. However, certainty remained: the struggle for freedom had a new leader and the chance of a fairer and more hopeful future.

Battle echoes reverberated among the generations, shaping the stories that would be told and recounting, while the elves, once oppressed, finally began to trace their way toward freedom and self -determination.
