The figure morphed into Sophia next. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of love and disappointment. "You always think you're the hero, don't you? But you're just running away," she accused, her hands crackling with energy.
Aiden blocked her attacks, the force of their clash creating sparks in the air. "I'm not running away. I'm facing my fears head-on," he shouted, his sword clashing with Sophia's energy blasts, dispelling the illusion with a final, decisive strike.
Sophia's form then shifted into Chloe, her eyes filled with concern. "Aiden, please, just come back. You don't have to fight anymore," she pleaded, stepping forward with open arms.
Aiden hesitated for a moment, feeling the urge to embrace her, but he then bit his lower lip and clarity returned to his eyes, he reminded himself this is nothing but illusion "You're not Chloe," he said, his voice resolute. "And I can't stop fighting until I find the truth."
