DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter Resilience in Sacrifice
Back at the Crystal Peak, Rosche, along with Eamon and their fellow classmates, used their skills in martial arts and magic to battle the encroaching demons. The fight was fierce, and their determination to save their teachers and each other was unyielding.
Amidst the chaos, Master Eldric spotted them. He approached while continuing to fend off the demons. “What are you two still doing here? Find Master Gaza and get out of here!”
Rosche's voice trembled with concern, “What about you, Master?”
Eamon echoed her worry, “We can’t leave you behind!” Master Eldric reassured them, “I’ll be right behind you.”
With that, Eamon and Rosche made their way through the chaotic battlefield, seeking out Master Gaza to join the others in the portal.
Master Eldric, his eyes scanning the battlefield, called out to the other masters, “As a senior master of the Crystal Peak, I am ordering you to go to the portal and make sure the students are safe.”
The masters, though reluctant to leave Master Eldric behind, understood the urgency of the situation and followed his command. They hurried toward the portal, where the other masters had already gathered.
Once at the portal, the masters joined the students, ensuring their safe passage to the designated location. Eamon and Rosche shared worried glances, but they knew that Master Eldric’s decision was rooted in protecting the realm.
Back on the battlefield, Master Eldric found himself standing alone, demons closing in from all sides. He realized that he had to contain the demons to prevent them from causing harm to other villages. He made a difficult decision and, with his waning strength, destroyed the portal just as a demon attempted to enter it.
As Master Eldric stood amidst the encroaching demons, his powers waning, he looked at the relentless horde closing in on him. In his final moments, with unwavering determination, he whispered to the encircling demons, “This is where your journey ends, for I shall be your prison as well.”
The demons hissed and screeched, clawing at him, but Master Eldric’s powers surged one last time. As he unleashed a torrent of energy to seal them within the Crystal Peak, he murmured, “May the light of Arantle protect us all.”
With a blinding flash, the Crystal Peak crumbled, and Master Eldric’s noble sacrifice was complete, his voice echoing in the hearts of those he had saved.
On the other side of the mountain, a distance away from the now-ruined Crystal Peak, the students and masters landed with a collective sigh of relief. The air was thick with murmurs of fear and worry, for each of them had loved ones and homes in danger.
Rosche's voice quivering with anxiety, she asked one of the masters, “Where’s Master Eldric? Why did we leave him behind?” The master, burdened with guilt and sadness, explained, “He chose to stay behind to protect us all. He made a great sacrifice for the realm.”
Master Gaza, the voice of reason and authority, stepped forward to calm the students. “We will do everything we can to protect our families and our homes. But first, we must regain our composure and form a plan.”
Rosche took a deep breath, her mind racing with thoughts of her family in Ebonvale. “I need to go home,” she said, determination in her eyes.
Master Isolda nodded with a reassuring smile. “We will accompany you to your homes and help you fight the demons that threaten your villages.”
Master Gaza, always a pillar of support, approached Rosche. “I’ll join you” she said. “And Eamon, are you coming too?”
Eamon, not one to shy away from danger, nodded in agreement.
The masters, each skilled in their own magical abilities, conjured portals to the homes of the students. As the shimmering gateways formed, they bore the resolve of those who had just faced a great loss, determined to protect their realm and their loved ones from the encroaching darkness.
With a final exchange of determined glances and nods of reassurance, they stepped through the portals, their journey to confront the demons and protect their homes about to begin.
