The Wrath of the Sand Queen

The air inside the fortress crackled with raw elemental power as Silica, the Sand Elemental Queen, unleashed her fury. The swirling vortex of sand enveloped the entire hall, turning the space into a deadly whirlwind of grit and wind. Blakely, Maven, and Iris braced themselves against the storm, their senses heightened as they prepared to face their most dangerous adversary yet.

Blakely clutched Matcha's fur tightly, her heart pounding in her chest. The swirling sands made it difficult to see, and the ground beneath them trembled as Silica's power rippled through the earth.

"Okay, this is definitely worse than I thought!" Blakely shouted over the howling wind, her voice barely audible.

Maven, her six fox tails flicking behind her, smirked despite the chaos. "You're telling me! And here I thought we'd just have to deal with some sand!"
