But Rania didn't listen. "No. You won't destroy this world."
"You're too naive, if that's what you think! And many people die from foolishness, you know," he argued with his eyes continually glaring devilishly at her.
But Rania's resolve was firmer. She didn't know why exactly but her instinct told her and screamed at her, saying that Elliot wasn't like that. It was weird how she used to doubt him so much but at that moment, her heart told her a different story. It was as if… she could see his heart—if that was even possible. And what she saw was a mere lonely boy, terrified with his own self, with his own power… but deep inside, he was good and kind, generous and… pure.
"You can call me naive if you want," Rania said. "You can try to push me away if you want. But know this…"
Her deep blue eyes seemed to burn as she looked back at him.
"People, even without magic, have the greatest power of all—and that's the power to make their own choices."
