172 Stand of the Elders

In the quiet aftermath of Valeria's departure with the younger generation, the elder elves were left to confront the formidable white tiger, Auris. Their hearts weighed heavy, not only with the loss of their youth but also with the imminent threat looming before them.

Although they had not participated in the earlier battle against the demons, the elders still possessed their full strength, their powers untapped and ready. As they watched Valeria and the younger elves disappear into the distance, a resolve hardened within them.

They knew that even without the younger generation, if they could align themselves with the Celestial Guardians and share what they knew about Valeria's actions, they would be welcomed, perhaps even rewarded. More importantly, they might gain the support needed to exact revenge on Valeria.
