After escaping the Arbiter's trap, Leo, Sofia, and the rest of the Reclaimers regrouped at the temporary hideout in the forest. They had suffered losses, and the mood was somber. Leo's power was growing, but he knew that the Arbiter wouldn't rest until he had them all destroyed. It was time to rethink their strategy and figure out how to counter the Arbiter's dark magic.
Leo sat with Sofia, Owen, and Evelyn around a small fire, the crackling flames illuminating their tired faces. Owen had managed to salvage some data from the wreckage, and he was busy analyzing it on his laptop.
"We need to know where the Arbiter will strike next," Sofia said, her tone decisive. "He won't stop until he controls the entire network of portals."
Owen glanced up from his laptop. "I've found some leads. It seems like the Arbiter's followers are gathering at several key locations. They're likely planning another ritual, but I haven't figured out where."
