Chapter 205 Gathering Storm

Ariella stood at the edge of the cliff, the wind tugging at her cloak as she gazed down at the sprawling city of Ilthoria below. The city, ever alive with whispers and tension, seemed both beautiful and suffocating. She could feel the weight of her destiny bearing down on her shoulders. The factions of the Drakemire family had made their moves, and now it was her turn. With Lysandra beside her, she couldn’t help but reflect on the path that had led her here. She was no longer just a healer—a quiet, hidden figure from a distant village. The magic that coursed through her veins, the power she barely understood, was now her greatest weapon. She would need to master it, to learn how to wield it, if she were to survive the storm that was coming.
