Chapter 140

The symphony played, and the powerful, rhythmic beats of the drums filled the air, reverberating through every heart. It wasn’t just a performance; it was the sound of victory, of sacrifice, and of dreams realized. As the final drumbeat echoed through the city, a heavy silence settled over the crowd. Rafael stood tall, holding Hector’s memorial plaque high. His eyes were focused, unwavering, as if he wanted Hector's legacy to be the first thing to touch the ground of the capital his triumph, his sacrifice, their collective success, symbolized by the plaque. As he stepped forward, the others followed, their steps measured and proud, each of them carrying a piece of the past into this new chapter.
