As Kael trained in a sunlit glade, he conversed with the Light Dragon. "I feel stronger, yet uncertain about the path ahead," he admitted.
"The elemental dragons await you," the dragon responded. "With each one you find, your understanding of your power and purpose will grow."
Meanwhile, in a dim chamber, Elara awoke to the sorcerer's cold gaze. "You have been chosen," he declared. "The power of the Abyss is now yours, giving you command over demons and the ability to absorb life itself."
Elara, surrounded by shadows, felt torn. "What am I becoming?" she whispered, the dark energy within her clashing with remnants of her humanity.
"Embrace your new reality," the sorcerer urged. "Your humanity was a weakness. Now, you are powerful."
In the Forest of Whispers, Kael sensed a dark presence. "Who's there?" he called, ready for battle.
Elara emerged, her eyes swirling with darkness. "I am your end," she said, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
As they clashed, Kael pleaded, "There is still good in you. I can feel it."
"You know nothing of me," Elara retorted, her powers surging. "The Abyss is all that I am now!"
After the battle, Elara fled, conflicted. "Why this turmoil within me?" she questioned herself, haunted by Kael's words.
Kael, determined, said to his allies, "Our journey is far from over. We must find the dragons, and I must reach Elara."
Elara, alone, contemplated her feelings. "Kael... what are you to me? Why does my heart waver in the darkness?"
