Lady Severa sighed deeply, then gently reached for Sophia's hand. "What has occurred will linger within you; you will receive what is destined for you," she spoke with meaningful intent.
Sophia looked at her mother, her eyes reflecting confusion and bewilderment. "What do you mean by this destiny?" she exclaimed, waiting for a profound answer.
Lady Severa paused for a moment before a few words escaped her lips, "The stakes are high, Sophia. The courage to embrace your destiny will re-unlock the door to the dormant power within you."
Sophia felt unable to escape yet another layer of confusion. "But what is truly happening? Why do I feel shattered?" she whispered, tears streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably.
