In the midst of the fray, I could see Jason engaging Baddy, their powers colliding in a dazzling display of light and darkness. I felt a surge of pride as I watched him hold his ground, but I also knew that we needed to act quickly before the tide turned against us.
"Eden!" I called, urgency lacing my voice. "Get behind me!" I positioned myself to shield him from the oncoming darkness, my heart racing as I prepared to face the sorceress once more.
But just as I summoned a protective barrier, the sorceress unleashed another wave of dark energy, shattering my defenses. The impact sent me flying, and I landed hard, struggling to regain my footing.
"Mom!" Eden cried out, rushing to my side. "Are you okay?"
I nodded, forcing myself to focus. "Stay close, Eden. We have to fight together."
