Chapter 32 - Chapter30;Family ties

Lord Eldric, Anya's father, sat in his study, pouring over ancient texts and seeking guidance from mystical sources. His eyes scanned the pages, searching for any mention of the Moonflower or Anya's whereabouts. The dimly lit room was filled with the scent of old parchment and the flickering candles cast eerie shadows on the walls.

His wife, Lady Elara, entered the room, her expression concerned. "Any news, Eldric?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Lord Eldric's face was set in determination. "Aria has provided us with a lead. She believes Anya is with the Blackwoods." Lady Elara's eyes widened, and she took a step closer to her husband. "The Blackwoods? They're not to be trusted," she said, her voice laced with caution.

Lord Eldric nodded, his jaw clenched. "I know. But we have no choice. We must find Anya before the Shadow Court does. The Moonflower's power is too great to fall into their hands." Lady Elara placed a hand on his shoulder, her touch a gentle reminder of their shared concern.

As they spoke, Lord Eldric's determination grew. He would stop at nothing to rescue his daughter and protect her from those who sought to exploit her connection to the Moonflower. The weight of responsibility settled heavily on his shoulders, but he stood tall, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Lady Elara's voice broke the silence. "We'll find her, Eldric. Together." Lord Eldric's gaze met hers, and he nodded, his resolve strengthened by her unwavering support.
