Chapter 6: Magical Battle

*Chapter 6: The Magical Battle*

Thunder soared through the skies, Aria and Professor Orion clinging to its back. The wind rushed past them, whipping Aria's hair into a frenzy.

As they approached the school, Aria could see a dark cloud of magic hovering above the buildings. The Shadow Syndicate's attack was already underway.

Thunder dived downward, its wings beating powerful as it swooped toward the school. Aria felt a rush of exhilaration mixed with fear.

As they landed on the school grounds, Aria could see students and professors fighting off the Shadowborn. The air was filled with the sound of spells being cast and the smell of ozone.

Professor Orion leapt off Thunder's back, their wand flashing as they cast a powerful spell. Aria followed close behind, her own magic stirring within her.

Thunder joined the battle, its roar thundering as it breathed fire at the Shadowborn. Aria watched in awe as the dragon's flames engulfed the dark creatures, sending them fleeing in terror.

But the Shadow Syndicate had one final trick up their sleeve. A dark portal opened, and a figure emerged from the shadows.

Malyster.

The leader of the Shadow Syndicate sneered at Aria and Professor Orion. "You fools," he spat. "You think you can stop me? I have the power of the Shadowborn at my command."

Aria felt a surge of fear, but Professor Orion stood tall, their wand flashing with determination. "We'll never let you win, Malyster," they said.

The battle raged on, with Aria, Professor Orion, and Thunder fighting against Malyster and the Shadowborn. The outcome was far from certain, but one thing was clear: only one side could emerge victorious .
