Ch. 59 – The Rise of the Crimson Wolf
The sorrow that had weighed heavily on Fenrir after the death of his father, Celdric, gradually transformed into a burning resolve. At his side, his beloved mother Elena became his moral anchor, providing the support and encouragement he needed. Her gentle yet firm gaze seemed to say without words: "Carry on, Fenrir. For your father, for your people."
The loyal citizens of Eisenwald came one by one, expressing their grief and paying respects. They saw not just a young baron mourning his father, but a leader with vision and courage to continue developing the once-swampy territory, now steadily flourishing.
Fenrir stood on the balcony of his castle, overlooking the fertile fields, bustling markets, and soldiers training with unwavering discipline. The lava-red aura that always surrounded him now burned more vividly, instilling renewed spirit among his people.
He summoned the Administrative Council and military commanders. His voice was firm, yet tempered by the weight of loss:
"We cannot let grief stop us. Eisenwald needs all of us. We will continue to build, protect, and prepare for the future."
The newly recruited administrators demonstrated their efficiency, planning agricultural expansion, resource management, and mining operations. Military commanders refined strategies, adjusted unit formations, and ensured every division was battle-ready.
The citizens and soldiers witnessed their baron not merely as a successor of power, but as a symbol of determination and courage. Their loyalty to him was absolute. Fenrir concluded the meeting with words that ignited determination:
"We rise from this sorrow. Eisenwald will become an unshakable fortress, and the name of the Crimson Wolf will be known throughout the empire."
