I adjusted my cloak, feeling the weight of the new responsibility I had taken on.
"Alright,y" I said with a firm nod, my voice steady. "Let's get moving, we need to leave this place and find somewhere safe for you to rest and recover."
As we began to make their way out of the crumbling ruins, I felt the bond pulsating faintly within me, a constant reminder of the pact I had made.
The ancient, desolate halls of the castle seemed to watch us depart, as if aware that their last inhabitant was finally leaving after centuries of solitude.
The world outside the ruins was stark and unyielding. Shadows cast long, dark shapes across the barren landscape.
As we walked, Elora's gaze took in her surroundings with a sense of awe and melancholy. Everything had changed.
The land she once knew was gone, replaced by a strange, unfamiliar world.
We paused by a cliff, overlooking the horizon. I glanced at her, noticing the sadness in her expression.
"This world…it's different now, isn't it?"
