As Ahmet grappled with the weight of Murat's revelations, a sudden commotion erupted from the shadows of the alley. With a rustle of fabric and a burst of frenzied energy, another figure emerged, their features obscured by the darkness.
"Enough, Murat!" the newcomer's voice rang out, filled with authority and resolve. "Your reign of terror ends here."
Ahmet's eyes widened in astonishment as he watched the newcomer step forward, their form bathed in a faint glow that seemed to repel the darkness around them.
Murat recoiled at the sight, his twisted form quivering with fear and rage. "You!" he spat, his voice dripping with venom. "You dare to defy me?"
The newcomer's gaze never wavered as they leveled a stern look at Murat. "I do," they declared, their voice unwavering. "And I will not rest until you are vanquished and the city is safe from your tyranny."
With a snarl, Murat launched himself at the newcomer, his claws bared and his fangs gleaming in the dim light. But the newcomer was ready, meeting Murat's assault with a flurry of precise strikes and powerful counterattacks.
As the two adversaries clashed, their battle sending shockwaves of energy rippling through the alley, Ahmet watched in awe, realizing that he was witnessing a struggle far beyond his understanding.
But as the fight raged on, with neither side gaining the upper hand, Ahmet sensed a shift in the air, a feeling of impending doom that sent a shiver down his spine.
And then, with a final, desperate blow, the newcomer struck Murat down, sending him crashing to the ground with a bone-rattling thud.
As Murat lay writhing in agony, his twisted form flickering in and out of existence, Ahmet approached cautiously, his heart heavy with uncertainty.
"Why, Murat?" Ahmet demanded, his voice trembling with emotion. "Why did you attack me? What is my purpose in all of this?"
Murat's gaze locked onto Ahmet's, his eyes filled with pain and regret. "You don't understand, Ahmet," he rasped, his voice barely above a whisper. "You are but a pawn in the game of the constellations. A plaything to be used and discarded at their whim."
Ahmet's heart sank as he heard Murat's words, his mind reeling with the enormity of what he was saying.
"But why me?" Ahmet pleaded, his voice choked with emotion. "What do they want from me?"
Murat's form began to fade, his voice growing fainter with each passing moment. "You will see, Ahmet," he whispered, his words barely audible over the din of the city. "You will see…"
And then, with one final, agonized cry, Murat vanished into the darkness, leaving Ahmet alone with his thoughts and the weight of his uncertain destiny.
