Suddenly, Gariel's eyes snapped open, wide and alert. He sat up quickly, looking around in confusion. "What... what kind of power was that?" he asked, his voice groggy but filled with curiosity.
Adika, leaning casually against a nearby tree, crossed his arms and glanced over. "Kiara's power isn't just hers. She's tied to something far bigger—the Outer Gods. That's where her strength comes from."
Gariel rubbed his temples, piecing it together. "Outer Gods... That explains it. Their influence is pure chaos, unpredictable. No wonder she could toss us back like we were nothing."
Alex, standing nearby, nodded in agreement. "She's not acting alone. She's a conduit for something much darker. We need to figure out the true scale of what we're facing."
Adika kicked the dirt, his expression grim. "Exactly. If she's aligned with the Outer Gods, this isn't just about us anymore. It's a threat to both our worlds."
