The sanctuary trembled as the battle between light and dark surged to a crescendo. Liora's power crackled like a storm, filling the air with unbridled chaos.

"We understand more than you think," Elara countered. "Power without purpose leads to ruin. We won't let you twist the Nexus into a tool of domination."
