Seraphine: "Possibly. If we can understand its messages."

Xander leaned forward.

Xander: "In my vision, I saw the Council divided. There may be dissent among them."

Seraphine nodded.

Seraphine: "That's valuable information. If we can find allies within, it could shift the balance."

Amelia looked thoughtful.

Amelia: "But how do we reach them?"

Before anyone could answer, there was a knock at the door. Everyone was tense. Xander moved cautiously to answer it.

He opened the door to reveal Marcus, looking weary but determined.

Xander: "Marcus? What are you doing here?"

Marcus glanced around nervously.

Marcus: "I come in peace. May I come in?"

Xander hesitated before stepping aside.

Once inside, Marcus faced them.

Marcus: "I had to find you. Things are changing within the Council."

Amelia: "What do you mean?"

Marcus: "There are those who question our current path. The attack on Havenwood was a turning point for many."

Xander crossed his arms.

Xander: "Why should we trust you?"

Marcus: "Because I'm risking everything by being here. I believe it's time for a new leadership—one that embraces unity rather than division."

Seraphine studied him carefully.

Seraphine: "What do you propose?"

Marcus: "An alliance. If we work together, we can bring about change from within."

Amelia exchanged a glance with Xander.

Amelia: "And how do we know this isn't a trap?"

Marcus met her gaze earnestly.

Marcus: "You don't. But I give you my word."

Liam peeked out from behind Amelia.

Liam: "I remember you."

Marcus smiled gently.
