Azil's smile grew even wider. "The Phoenix will soon take over your body, your mind,your soul and your very essence," he said. "But I can help you."
Nikolas' gaze locks onto Azil's, his eyes searching for any sign of hope. "How?" he asked.
Azil leans in closer, his voice taking on a conspiratorial tone. "By teaching you how to control the powers before it awakens," he started. "So you can have control."
Alexander's eyes narrowed, his grip on Nikolas' arm tightening.
"I can teach You how to harness the Phoenix's power, How to bend it to Your will. But we must start now, before it's too late."
"Can you really help me?" Nikolas asked, his voice filled with hope.
Azil nodded, his smile growing even wider. "I can," he said. "But you must trust me. You must trust the process."
Alexander's eyes never left Azil's face, his expression skeptical. "We will do it, But if you are trying to trick us, Azil... you will regret it."
