     "The Final Reckoning"

Lyra's eyes blazed with malevolence as she summoned an ancient evil, fueled by her newfound source of black magic.

Eli stumbled back, his strength waning.

Aria's heart sank.

Lyra's laughter echoed through the darkness.

"You'll never defeat me, Eli!"

Eli's gaze locked onto Aria.

" Hold on," he whispered.

Aria's rage ignited.

She strained against Lyra's bindings.

Suddenly, her inner strength surged.

The dark energy constraining her shattered.

Aria broke free.

Lyra's eyes widened.

"No!"

Aria's fury unleashed.

She charged at Lyra.

Eli seized the opportunity.

With renewed strength, he launched a fierce attack.

Lyra stumbled.

Aria's hands wrapped around Lyra's throat.

"You killed our parents," Aria spat.

Lyra's face contorted.

"You'll never rule!"

Eli's magic combined with Aria's rage.

Lyra's defenses crumbled.

A final, desperate blast of magic erupted from Eli.

Lyra's eyes froze.

Her body crumpled.

The darkness dissipated.

Silence fell.

Aria released Lyra's lifeless body.

Eli stood tall.

"It's done," he whispered.

Lyra's powers were frozen.

An ancient spell, known only to the wise, sealed her magic for eternity.

No one would ever find it.

The world was free.

Aria's tears flowed.

Eli's gaze softened.

Aria collapsed, exhaustion overwhelming her.

Eli rushed to her side.

"Aria, no!" he whispered.

Kael's eyes widened.

"What's happening?"

Eli's hands glowed with soft magic.

"Healing energy," he explained.

But Aria didn't stir.

Eli's brow furrowed.

"This isn't right."
