Total defeat

As Leora advanced towards me with relentless determination, her movements fluid and precise, My heart sank. I had known Leora for month, but now she seemed like a different person altogether, consumed by a malevolent force.

"Leora, stop!" I called out, desperation evident in my voice. "It's me, Zephara. You don't have to do this."

But Leora remained silent, her eyes empty of recognition or mercy as she continued her assault, unleashing torrents of fire and water with effortless grace.

I gritted my teeth, knowing that words alone wouldn't sway her . With a heavy heart, I raised my hands, summoning my mauve fire magic to meet Leora's onslaught. Yet, despite my best efforts, Leora's affinity with fire and water proved too overwhelming, pushing me to my limits.

Ava watched with a twisted smile, reveling in the chaos she had unleashed. "This is your undoing, Zephara," she taunted, her voice dripping with malice. "You should have never crossed us."
