“Adrian, over here!” Emma shouted, her voice barely audible over the cacophony.
The underground chamber echoed with the chaotic sounds of battle. The heavy door to the council’s hidden headquarters was flung open, and Adrian charged in, closely followed by Emma. Shadows danced on the stone walls as flashes of light from spellcasting illuminated the scene. Council members were fighting desperately, their backs against the wall.
“Adrian, over here!” Emma shouted, her voice barely audible over the cacophony.
Adrian nodded, his face set with determination. He raised his hand, a bolt of energy surging from his fingertips, striking an attacker who had been closing in on the council leader, Orion. The figure crumpled to the ground, revealing Orion’s grateful but cautious expression.
“Thank you,” Orion said, his voice strained but resolute. “But we’re not out of this yet.”

She shifted uneasily, her eyes flickering beneath closed lids as fragmented memories flitted through her mind.

The symbol he had been investigating for months had led him here, to this forgotten place beneath the city.He glanced back at Theo, the reclusive scholar he had reluctantly enlisted. Theo's eyes sparkled with an unsettling mix of excitement and dread. "This is it," Theo whispered, barely containing his enthusiasm. "The answers we seek are within these walls."Adrian nodded, trying to suppress the unease that gnawed at him. He had always dismissed the prophecy as mere legend, but now, standing in this ancient library, the weight of its potential truth pressed down on him."Let's find the text," Adrian said, his voice firm despite the turmoil inside him.They moved deeper into the library,

"You're doing great, Adrian," Emma said, her voice steady. "Just keep your focus."Adrian nodded, his jaw tightening as he tried to maintain control. The pebble steadied, floating smoothly in the air. He couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of accomplishment.Emma stepped closer, her eyes never leaving the pebble. "Now, move it to the left, slowly."Taking a deep breath, Adrian shifted his focus. The pebble obeyed, gliding to the left. His control wavered for a moment, but he quickly regained it, guiding the pebble in a smooth arc."Excellent," Emma praised.

Shadowed Power Unseen Threats
Adrian nearly collided with Emma, her green eyes wide with a mixture of relief and concern. "Adrian, thank goodness you're here," she breathed, her voice a soft melody in the stillness."What's wrong, Emma?" Adrian asked, his brows furrowing as he scanned their surroundings, half-expecting something to leap out from the shadows."It's... hard to explain," Emma started hesitantly, her fingers nervously twisting the strap of her bag. "I was walking home when I felt... watched. And then I heard whispers—voices that seemed to come from nowhere."Adrian's jaw tightened. "Whispers? Did you recognize any of the voices?"Emma shook her head, a shiver coursing through her slender frame.
