Chapter 19 The Hunt For The Storm Relic

• Ava’s mind buzzed with the events of the last few days. The arrival of the Stormborn Faction, Kael’s mysterious power, and the Council’s warning about the Storm Relic weighed heavily on her. Everything was happening so quickly, and now she was being sent on a mission to recover a powerful artifact that could decide the fate of the elemental world.
• As she packed her satchel in the dim light of her dorm room, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing—some vital piece of information that would make everything fit together. The Council had been vague about the relic's exact location, only mentioning the Storm Citadel, a fortress lost in the far reaches of the elemental borders. Even the name itself sounded ominous, as though the place existed in the midst of chaos.
• Finn and Lia arrived just before dawn, both looking as anxious as Ava felt. They exchanged silent nods, the weight of what they were about to do palpable in the cool morning air.
