The sorceress looked up at the company, her eyes filled with doubt and remorse. For so long, she had embraced darkness, believing it to be the path to ultimate power. But now, in the face of the company's unity and compassion, she felt a glimmer of hope.
"I have done terrible things," she whispered, her voice tinged with regret. "The darkness consumed me, and I lost sight of what truly mattered."
Lyra stepped forward, her expression gentle yet firm. "We all have the capacity for darkness within us, but it is our choices and the unity we find with others that shape our path."
The sorceress hesitated for a moment, torn between her past and the possibility of a new future. Then, with a determined look, she took the company's outstretched hands, feeling the warmth of their unity.
"I choose a different path," she said. "I will use my powers for good, to protect the realms and uphold the balance."
