"You connected with the moon god at the age of 15," Lewis repeated, his voice steady and unwavering. "Yet this girl, Caroline, who is about the same age as you were when you supposedly connected, also has a gift. If she is lying, then how do you explain her abilities?"
The mage's eyes darted around, searching for a way to defend himself, but he found none. The truth had caught up with him, and he could no longer hide behind his web of lies.
"I... I trained for years to harness my powers," the mage stammered, desperation creeping into his voice. "She's just an imposter, using tricks to deceive everyone."
"Really?" Alex challenged, his voice tinged with skepticism. "She had never shown any power before. And how can we be sure you're not using tricks to deceive us, huh?"
"Yes," I added, my heart pounding with certainty, "I also believe Caroline. She won't lie about this."
