As they fled the Shadow King, Aethon led them to a hidden glade.
"Wait here," Aethon said.
Eli's anxiety grew.
"Who are we waiting for?" Eli asked.
Aethon smiled.
"A powerful ally."
A figure emerged from the trees.
Eli gasped.
"A woman...with wings!"
The woman's wings shimmered like moonlight.
"I am Luna, Moonlit Warrior," she said.
Kaidën nodded.
"Luna, we need your help."
Luna's gaze locked onto Eli.
"The Shadow King pursues you?"
Eli nodded.
Luna's expression turned fierce.
"I'll protect you."
Aethon smiled.
"Luna's skills will aid our quest."
Luna drew her sword.
"Let's face the Shadow King."
The Shadow King's dark presence loomed.
"Too late," Eli whispered.
The Shadow King emerged.
"Ah, Luna. You'll make a fine addition to my kingdom."
Luna's sword flashed.
"I'll never serve you."
Kaidën and Aethon joined the battle.
Eli's magic surged.
Together, they fought the Shadow King's darkness.
