The moonstone flared brighter, its light spilling across the chamber like a rising sun. Caelum unleashed a torrent of dark magic, the tendrils converging on Zoe with deadly intent. But she stood firm, the moonstone’s light forming a shield around her, repelling the attack. The magic collided with a deafening roar, the force sending shockwaves through the chamber.

Xienma felt a surge of awe and wonder, her connection to the ancient magic within her growing stronger with each passing moment.
