**Chapter 10: The Call to the Realms**
Lina's message of unity spread across the realm, reaching distant kingdoms and hidden sanctuaries. As allies gathered—elves, dwarves, spirits, and even humans from her world—the realm's magic grew stronger, fueled by hope and collective strength.
But not everyone welcomed this alliance. A mysterious figure named Malakar, a former guardian corrupted by the Shadow Wraith's lingering influence, saw the unity as a threat. He believed darkness was inevitable and sought to seize power for himself.
"You're naive," Malakar hissed during a clandestine meeting. "The darkness is part of us. Embracing it is the only way to survive."
Lina confronted him, her eyes blazing. "We choose hope. We choose light. And we will fight for it."
Malakar vanished into the shadows, leaving behind a chilling warning: the battle was far from over.
