The city was cloaked in an unnatural twilight.
The sun was swallowed gradually, a solar eclipse creeping across the sky.
People stopped and stared, a chill spreading through the air despite the sun's diminishing light.
Kael's Plan
Inside a massive, abandoned observatory, Kael stood surrounded by ancient star maps and solar instruments.
His eyes glowed with the fire of a thousand suns.
"If I can block out the sun's light…The moon and stars will lose their power," he whispered.
He extended his hands, and a shimmering sphere of plasma formed above him—a miniature sun burning fiercely.
Nyra and Aarav
At the riverbank, Nyra raised her hands, calling the tides higher, feeling the pull of the darkened sun.
Aarav stood beside her, his fingers weaving patterns in the air, warping space to shield them from the creeping cold.
"We have to stop him," Aarav said, voice steady but tense.
Nyra nodded.
"Together."
The Eclipse Falls
As the moon slid across the sun's face, the city plunged into deep shadow.
Lights flickered.
Power waned.
And in the heart of the city, Kael unleashed his solar fury—an unstoppable wave of heat and light twisted into darkness.
Clash of Powers
Nyra summoned the river, its waters glowing under the moon's reflected light.
Aarav bent the fabric of space-time, creating shields and portals to counter Kael's attacks.
The battle was fierce—heat and water, light and shadow, space and gravity.
A Glimmer of Hope
Despite the eclipse, Nyra and Aarav's combined strength held steady.
Their bond deepened, and with every wave of water and ripple of space, they pushed Kael back.
But Kael's laughter echoed.
"This is only the beginning."
