The Call to OAKenspire
Night shimmered over Radon, an emerald haze threading a thriving sky—fairy lights pulsed bright overhead, their hum weaving rich as the lush earth thrummed beneath the Knights’ boots, moss and petals humming like a living melody. A gentle breeze swirled through, nectar and light rising sweet from below—deep forests stretched wide, vines glowing vibrant across ancient trees, their light threading warm thro...
The dark was dust—Radon’s wild surged triumphant—Sylra hovered forward, lithe wings shimmering, eyes glowing with light—her chime rang clear—“Wild’s ours—we lead”—her stance threaded radiance, guiding the forest’s spirits. Thorn flanked her, stout frame steady, mossy beard bristling, earthen staff pulsing—his growl steadied—“Earth holds—we guide”—his hands flared with soil’s magic, Radon’s roots threading through.
The war is over and Radon returns to the magickal paradise that it once was. The team celebrates with their new found friends. The reptilian and demonic forces are banished for good.
