After the battle, Kai lay injured on the cold stones of the fortress. His shadow soldiers flickered uncertainly around him as his guildmates gathered in concern.
Lyra cried, "Kai, you're hurt. We can't lose you now."
Rohan said firmly, "Your power is great, but it comes with a cost. You must learn to balance it, or it might consume you."
Kai whispered, "I feel the darkness inside me fighting back. I'm scared I might lose control."
Kian reassured him, "Every guardian pays a price for power. We will help you through this, no matter what." Kai realized that his journey was not just about gaining strength—it was also about bearing the burden of responsibility.
