Chapter 105
As dusk settled over the rebel camp, Ermis found himself amidst a clandestine gathering. The air hummed with anticipation, punctuated by whispers and the occasional rustle of leaves. Tonight, they would plot their boldest move yet – an assault on the magical barrier encasing the castle.
Ermis, the seasoned strategist, stood at the heart of the makeshift command center. Around him, rebels of all backgrounds and abilities awaited his guidance. Yet, tonight, he sought counsel from an unlikely ally the enigmatic rebel leader known only as Thalia she was a goddess from the realm she came from, a sirene
Thalia, her gaze sharp and unwavering, stood opposite Ermis. She exded an air of authority tempered by a hint of mystery. It was said that she possessed knowledge of ancient magics, a trait that had earned her both reverence and fear among the rebels.
“We cannot underestimate the castle’s defenses,” Ermis began, his voice low but resolute. “But we also cannot afford to remain idle.
Thalia nodded in agreement, her expression grave. “The magic surrounding the castle is formidable, but not insurmountable. We have a plan, but it will require precision, and above all, unity.”
Ermis studied her, recognizing the weight of her words. Despite their differences, he understood the necessity of collaboration. “Tell me your plan, Thalia. We are prepared to listen.”
With a subtle gesture, Thalia summoned a map of the castle grounds illuminated by a soft, ethereal glow. “Our first objective is to infiltrate the outer perimeter undetected. The magic sensors are powerful, but they have blind spots. We will exploit them.
Ermis leaned in closer, his mind already racing with possibilities. “And once we breach the outer defenses?”
Thalia’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Then comes the true challenge. We must disrupt the magical nexus sustaining the barrier. It is heavily guarded, but I have studied its weaknesses. With your fighters providing distraction, we can strike where they least
expect.”
The plan unfolded before Ermis’s eyes, each detail meticulously crafted to maximize their chances of success. He saw the risks, but he also saw the potential reward freedom from oppression, and a chance to reclaim their homeland.

“We move at midnight,” Ermis declared, his voice carrying across the chamber with quiet authority. “Prepare your teams, and may
the spirits watch over us all.”
As the rebels dispersed to make final preparations, Ermis found himself alone with Thalia once more. In her eyes, he saw a reflection of his own determination a shared resolve to defy the odds, no matter the cost.

“To victory,” Thalia said, extending her hand in a gesture of solidarity.
Ermis clasped her hand firmly, feeling a surge of camaraderie between them. “To victory,” he echoed, knowing that their alliance would be tested like never before. But together, they would face whatever lay ahead, united in purpose and bound by their shared
destiny.

Lucia, her expression strained with worry, watched as Helios, lay weak and pallid upon the bed. The once vibrant glow of his celestial aura had dimmed, his strength waning with each passing day.
“Lucia,” Constance’s voice carried the weight of fear and panic she might have Lucia’s guardian but her loyalty to Helios was unwavering. “You know as well as I do that Helios’s condition is only going to worsens with every moonrise. Yet you continue to cling to this doomed union.”
Lucia’s gaze faltered, torn between her selfish love and what was right. “I cannot abandon him in his time of need. He is my mate. The fact that the curse is acting out must mean”
