Xander: "They're part of an old language, used by my ancestors."

Amelia: "Can you read it?"

Xander: "Some of it. It speaks of bonds and legacies."

That evening, Marcus informed them that Elias had agreed to meet. They would travel to a neutral location the next day.

As they prepared for the journey, Amelia felt a mix of excitement and apprehension.

Amelia: "Do you think he'll help us?"

Xander: "If anyone can, it's Elias."

Amelia: "Then let's hope for the best."

He took her hand, squeezing it reassuringly.

Xander: "No matter what happens, we'll face it together."

She nodded, finding comfort in his presence.

The next day, they arrived at an old manor nestled in the countryside. The air was crisp, and the scent of pine filled their senses. Inside, they were led to a grand hall where a tall man with silver hair awaited them.

Elias: "Xander, it's been a long time."

Xander: Shaking his hand "Too long, Elias."

Elias turned to Amelia, his gaze piercing yet kind.

Elias: "And you must be Amelia."

Amelia: "Yes. Thank you for agreeing to meet with us."

Elias: "Any friend of Xander's is welcome here."

They sat around a large wooden table.

Elias: "So, tell me how I can assist."

Xander explained the situation—the rival faction's aggression, the threats against Amelia, and their concerns for the future.

Elias listened carefully before speaking.
