As the battle raged on, Althea felt the strain of controlling the elements. Each moment brought new challenges, but the bond she shared with Ezra fueled her resolve. They fought back against Lyria's dark magic, pushing themselves to the brink.
"Keep pushing, Althea!" Ezra urged, his voice filled with conviction. "You can do this!"
With a surge of determination, Althea focused her energy, creating a vortex of light that swallowed Lyria's shadows. The clash of powers sent shockwaves through the air, and Althea felt the weight of destiny pressing down on her.
"Your powers may be strong, but you're still a child," Lyria hissed, her dark eyes burning with fury. "I will take everything from you!"
Althea's heart raced as she remembered the sacrifices she was willing to make for those she loved. "You'll never take my heart!" she cried, channeling her emotions into a final, explosive surge of energy.
With a blinding flash, the elements erupted in a harmonious crescendo. Water surged into a tidal wave, flames spiraled into a fiery tornado, and the air crackled with electricity as Light and Dark collided.
Lyria screamed as the elements enveloped her, their combined power overwhelming her darkness. In that moment, Althea felt a profound sense of clarity—a realization that her true strength lay not only in her abilities but in the love and support of those around her.
As the light faded, Althea collapsed to the ground, breathless but victorious. Ezra rushed to her side, his face etched with concern. "Althea, are you okay?" he asked, worry flooding his voice.
"I'm fine," she whispered, a smile breaking through the exhaustion. "We did it, Ezra. We stopped her."
