The quakes within the fortress intensified, but the chamber we stood in remained oddly calm. It was as if an unseen force kept this place stable amidst the chaos.

With a tight grip on Chloe and Lilith, her voice grew stronger. "The sorcerer showed me that I am a child of chaos born from a dark world. That truth can no longer be denied."
Chloe and Lilith struggled against her grasp, but she held firm, a sinister smile playing upon her lips. "You see, there is no saving me anymore. Chaos is part of who I am, and it feeds on everything around me. You were all just pawns in my game of self-discovery."
