Despite the warmth and joy surrounding Liora, the threat of the Shadow Conclave continued to linger. Thorian, growing more desperate to undermine the royal family, devised a plan to capture Liora and use her power to further his dark ambitions. He believed that by turning her against her parents, he could manipulate her abilities to create chaos among the realms.
On a fateful day, while Liora was practicing her magic in the meadows near the Temple of Serenity, Thorian's agents launched a surprise attack. They sought to abduct her, believing that capturing the daughter of the queen would deal a crippling blow to the royal family.
As the agents closed in, Liora instinctively summoned her magic. The flowers around her sprang to life, forming a protective barrier. With a burst of energy, she pushed back against the assailants, but they were relentless, using dark magic to overwhelm her defenses.
