Title: Echoes of the Revolution

Level: Advanced (C1)

#Story :

Adira, a revolutionary soldier, reflects on the aftermath of a successful revolution that has left her disillusioned. Once driven by hope for a better world, she now wanders through the ruins of her city, questioning whether the sacrifices were worth it. The old regime has been overthrown, but the new leaders quickly become as corrupt as the ones they replaced. Adira struggles with the loss of friends, family, and the ideals she once believed in. Her comrade, Kellan, tries to rekindle her belief that the fight isn't over, but Adira remains conflicted. She visits the ruins of the prison where her father died, contemplating her role in the revolution’s failure to bring true change. In the end, she decides that the fight must continue, though her hope is fragile.
