VANQUISHED

Aragat Mountain loomed before us, rising higher than I had ever seen it. Its massive presence cast a shadow over the battlefield, and then its voice boomed, shaking the very ground beneath us. Kieran, Leo, Jack, Blaise, Jasper, General Cecile, Daeva, Emmet, and Maxwell all stepped back; their eyes wide with awe as the mountain itself came alive. The voice of Aragat thundered across the skies, ancient and powerful.

"You, Devourer, have caused untold harm to this world," Aragat accused, its voice filled with righteous anger. "All because you were unhappy, because you couldn't accept your place in the order of things."

The Devourer shrieked, its high-pitched wail filled with defiance, yet there was something desperate in it now. It was afraid. The earth trembled as we watched the Crystal rise from within the heart of the mountain, glowing with an intense light. The power of Aragat and the Crystal merged into one, forming a blinding beam of energy.
