The ground trembled as Sieg and Arcia approached the portal, a swirling maelstrom of dark energy. Shadow was waiting for them, her form shifting and pulsing with malevolence. Around her, hordes of monstrous creatures emerged from the portal, each more grotesque than the last.
“Welcome to the end,” Shadow hissed, her voice echoing with malice.
Sieg unsheathed his sword. “Not yet.”
Arcia cocked her pistols. “Let’s finish this.”

The Battle
The monsters came in waves, each more relentless than the last. Sieg and Arcia fought side by side, their teamwork seamless.
Shadow laughed, summoning dark tendrils that struck with brutal force, repeatedly destroying the legions Sieg summoned.
“This is getting us nowhere!” Arcia shouted, reloading.
Sieg gritted his teeth, an idea forming in his mind. “The enchantment! Arcia, sing it now!”
“What?”
“Trust me! Do it!”

The Djinns Arrive
Arcia took a deep breath and began reciting the ancient enchantment from the book. Her voice carried through the chaos, and the air shimmered with light.
The Djinns appeared, each radiating immense power.
“We are here, champions,” one of them said. “Let us assist you.”
The Djinns merged with the legions, enhancing their abilities.
Militia became armored with crystalline energy, their strikes unstoppable.
Blasphemy unleashed destructive explosions with each movement.
Thanatos, the strongest of all, glowed with an otherworldly aura.
Each legion took on one of Shadow’s forms, fighting her in stages. Shadow grew weaker with every defeat, her rage intensifying.

The Final Form
Defeated in her earlier stages, Shadow unleashed her final form, a towering, grotesque amalgamation of darkness and fire.
“This is it!” Arcia shouted.
Sieg nodded. “Time for Thanatos.”
Thanatos transformed into its ultimate enhanced form, its power radiating like a star. Sieg commanded it to attack.
With a roar, Thanatos unleashed its ultimate ability, a devastating burst of energy that engulfed Shadow. She screamed, her form unraveling into the portal.
As her remnants vanished into the void, the Djinns gathered around the portal, sealing it with their combined power.

The New Relics
The Djinns turned to Sieg and Arcia.
“This portal is sealed, but only Thanatos can break it, should the need ever arise,” one said.
As the Djinns spoke, they merged into their respective legion relics, permanently enhancing them.
Sieg walked to Arcia, placing his hand over her pistols. A surge of energy transferred into them, transforming their appearance.
“Now you can switch elements,” Sieg said with a faint smile.
Arcia grinned. “Thanks. This’ll come in handy.”

A New Beginning
With their task complete, they released the Djinns. Each returned to its respective place, creating new seals to safeguard the world.
Sieg and Arcia returned home, the weight of their journey lifting as they approached familiar surroundings.
That evening, they climbed to the top of a wall overlooking the vast wilderness, the setting sun painting the sky in hues of gold and crimson.
Arcia leaned closer to Sieg. “Can I kiss you properly now?”
Sieg’s face flushed red, but he nodded.
She smiled and kissed him, soft and warm, the culmination of everything they’d been through together.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, they sat side by side, the world at peace once more.
