Althea and Ezra rushed outside to see a swirling mass of darkness rising from the trees, tendrils of dark magic stretching toward the village. The air crackled with energy as villagers ran in panic, seeking shelter from the oncoming storm.
"Lyria is unleashing her power!" Althea shouted, fear coursing through her veins. "We need to stop her!"
Rowan joined them, his expression grim. "Althea, you must summon all six elements to confront her. You have the strength within you; trust in that power."
With a nod, Althea closed her eyes, feeling the elements coursing through her. Water, Earth, Air, Fire, Light, and Dark—she drew them together, weaving their energies into a tapestry of strength. As she opened her eyes, she felt the weight of the elements coalescing around her.
Ezra stood by her side, a fierce determination in his gaze. "We're in this together, Althea. No matter what happens."
As Lyria emerged from the shadows, her presence sent a chill through the air. "You think you can defeat me, Althea? You're nothing without your fear!" she taunted, her voice echoing like thunder.
Althea took a deep breath, summoning her courage. "You're wrong, Lyria. I won't let you destroy my home!"
With a flick of her wrist, she unleashed a torrent of water, igniting it with flames, combining elements in a way she had never done before. The fire and water danced together, creating steam that enveloped Lyria in a haze.
"Impressive, but not enough!" Lyria roared, summoning shadows to counter Althea's attack.
Ezra stepped forward, drawing on his own strength. "You're not alone, Althea!" he shouted, channeling the power of Light to illuminate the darkness. Together, they fought against Lyria, a united front against the rising tide of darkness.
