With their lives on the line, Ethan faced a choice: remain hidden in the shadows or unleash the full force of his magic.
In a moment of clarity, Ethan summoned all his strength. The air crackled with energy as he transformed, channeling the very essence of Alaric. He became a beacon of light amidst darkness, unleashing torrents of magic that cascaded across the battlefield, obliterating Malakar's forces.
As the dust settled, Ethan stood victorious. The Kingdom of Aeloria was saved, but Ethan's identity as the savior remained a mystery. He had become the greatest mage to ever leave the shadows, yet no one knew the boy who had once been an ordinary teenager.
