Its red eyes burned with a hunger that seemed to consume the very air around them.Panic warred with a desperate hope within Evie. The faint flicker of chaotic energy she felt within her was a gamble, a sliver of a chance against an overwhelming force. But it was all they had."We can't overpower it," Liam said, his voice low. "We need to distract it, create an opening."Xal'dar nodded, a flicker of blue light illuminating his eyes. "Perhaps… if we can tap into the remaining energy within the crystal…"He trailed off, his gaze fixed on the colossal crystal across the cavern.

We unleashed a force beyond our comprehension."He recounted the final chilling moments in the cavern – the glyphs on the walls, the disembodied voice, the eye of pure power awakening.
