INFERNAL PASSION

Heart of fire

Gabriel sat cross-legged on the floor of the gallery, the artifact glowing softly before him. His eyes were closed, his mind focused on the energy emanating from the ancient object. Suddenly, a searing heat enveloped him, and a vision burst into his consciousness. Flames roared around him, an infernal force rising from the depths. The heat was so intense that it felt real, pressing down on him, threatening to consume everything in its path.

He opened his eyes, gasping for breath, sweat trickling down his forehead. He knew he had to share what he had seen with the others immediately. Rising to his feet, Gabriel hurried to find Diana and the rest of the group.

- I saw something - Gabriel began, his voice urgent. - A powerful force, an infernal demon. The heat was unbearable. It felt like the flames were real.

The group gathered around, concern etched on their faces. Diana stepped forward, her expression grave.

- What you saw is Ignatius. He's an ancient demon, capable of immense destruction. We need to act fast.

Sophia looked between Gabriel and Diana, her worry evident.

- How do we stop something like that?

Gabriel took a deep breath, trying to steady himself.

- We need to figure out where Ignatius might emerge and prepare for the worst.

Vincent, his face set with determination, added,

- If he's as powerful as you say, we need a solid plan. We can't afford any mistakes.

Diana nodded, her resolve firm.

- We'll need to be strategic. Ignatius thrives on chaos and destruction. We have to be ready for anything.

As the group discussed their next steps, Diana shared her knowledge of Ignatius, detailing his history and the devastation he was capable of. Her words painted a chilling picture, and the group understood the gravity of the situation.

- He's not just any demon - Diana explained. - Ignatius has been around for centuries, causing destruction wherever he goes. He feeds on fear and chaos. If we don't stop him, he'll engulf everything in flames.

Gabriel's mind raced with the implications of his vision and Diana's revelation. They needed to prepare, and quickly. He turned to the group, his determination clear.

- Let's get to work. We need to train harder than ever before. This is a fight we can't afford to lose.

The group nodded in agreement, the urgency of the situation driving them forward. They began to intensify their training, each member pushing themselves to new limits. Gabriel and Diana trained together, their bond strengthening as they pushed each other to become stronger and more precise.

- Focus, Gabriel. We need to be ready for anything - Diana urged, her voice steady.

- I'm with you. Let's push ourselves harder - Gabriel replied, his eyes locked on hers.

Sophia, who had been practicing nearby, suddenly felt a surge of power within her. She concentrated, and a shimmering barrier appeared around her, radiating a cool, protective energy. She looked at her friends, excitement and determination in her eyes.

- I think I can create a barrier against the heat. It's new, but I feel I can control it.

Vincent's face lit up with pride and encouragement.

- That's incredible, Sophia. We'll help you master it.

As Sophia worked on mastering her new ability, the group continued their preparations. The tension was palpable, each member aware of the stakes. Despite the intensity, they found moments of support and camaraderie, reinforcing their bond.
