We were surrounded, chaos everywhere-fire, shouts, magic sparking across the sky. My heart was pounding, hands shaking, and then I saw him.
And wow.
Xyron. Just... standing there like he'd walked out of a painting, perfectly still in the middle of the storm, with this aura that made the chaos around him feel like background noise. Majestic. Terrifying. And, honestly, a little ridiculous that someone could look this good while leading an army.
"Focus, Elara! He's the enemy!" Kaelith snapped beside me, snapping me out of my awe-induced daze.
I blinked, rubbed my eyes, and muttered, "Right... enemy."
But even as I raised my hands to summon magic, part of me couldn't stop staring. He moved with a grace I'd never seen, like the battlefield was his stage. And I-well, I was stuck in the front row, wondering how someone could be both deadly and absolutely majestic.

I'm supposed to be ordinary. Human. Replaceable. But the moment magic finds me, nothing is simple anymore.
A world I never knew exists. Warriors who see me as a weapon. A villain who wants me-not my power, me. And a prophecy that insists I'm the one to change everything.
I don't want to be chosen. I don't want to be extraordinary. But I can't run from what I am-or from the danger and obsession now chasing me.
Because sometimes surviving isn't enough. Sometimes, you have to fight for yourself... and for a world that thinks it owns you.
