The Shattering Truth
The battle had reached its peak, but the ground beneath them trembled as if the very earth itself was fighting against the forces at play. Alex and Aria stood shoulder to shoulder, their backs to each other, their bodies battered but unbroken. The fight had taken everything from them: their strength, their energy, their hope. Yet, neither of them faltered. They knew they couldn't afford to. Not now. Not when everything was at stake.
Lucian was relentless, a dark god of destruction who seemed to absorb the very essence of life. He moved with an eerie calmness, his dark magic swirling around him like a storm. His eyes locked onto Alex with a look of cold, calculating amusement, but there was a flicker of something else, something dangerous, in his gaze.
