There she discovered its lifeblood—an enormous spiritual crystal buried beneath the stones, pulsing with raw power like a captive star.

Hope flared in her chest. Forming a rapid seal, she fired needle-thin streams of energy straight toward the crystal’s heart.

Esorin’s head snapped around. Fury ignited across his features. “Courting death!” he roared, diverting part of his vast strength and locking onto Onneas’ slender figure.

He vanished, reappearing mid-dash with murder blazing in his gaze, every ripple of his cloak tearing the air like claws.
