Aria and Lena, the good witches, are ready to defend the palace. They know the stakes of Delilah's attack and are determined to protect the kingdom's heart. As Delilah's forces close in, Aria and Lena take up positions on the palace battlements, their magic swirling like protective barriers around them. "We'll stop her," Aria says, her voice firm with resolve. Lena nods, her eyes glowing with magical energy.
The battle begins with a clash of powers. Delilah unleashes waves of dark energy toward the palace, trying to breach its defenses. Aria and Lena counter with their own magic, sending bursts of light and protective spells to ward off Delilah's attacks.

Aria and Lena strain to keep the palace safe, their magic a shield against Delilah's onslaught.
Finally, after intense battling, Delilah's relentless assault on the palace defenses begins to take its toll. Despite Aria and Lena's valiant efforts to protect the kingdom's heart, Delilah's power, amplified by her merge with Aurora's abilities, proves too overwhelming. The magical barriers around the palace start to falter, and then break in a burst of dark energy.
As the barriers collapse, Delilah's followers in ancient hoodies pour into the palace grounds, moving like dark shadows through the breached defenses. Aria and Lena fight on, trying to hold back the tide of Delilah's forces, but the palace interior is soon under attack.

The king, aware of the danger unfolding, prepares for a final stand. "We won't give up," he says, rallying what defenders he can. But Delilah's power is like a storm surging through the palace, overwhelming defenses. The outcome of this battle seems to lean toward Delilah's favor, paving the way for her plans to bring back Xerxes.
