Scarlett (Second Edition)

“No, Scarlett!” Lucian’s voice rang out, desperate and pleading, but it was too late.

It surged beneath my skin, crackling to the surface as my green aura exploded outward. The dark magic constraining me recoiled, but my magic wasn’t just pushing it away—it was learning from it. I felt it, the terrible pull of the dark aura’s attributes trying to imprint themselves on me. My worst fear was coming to life, and I had to break free before it consumed me entirely.
