Blaze, Night, and Thunder were already waiting backstage. Their eyes lit up when they saw her, admiration written plainly on their faces. When they instinctively tried to step closer, a sudden, icy pressure radiated from the tall bodyguard at Elena's side. All three halted at once, exchanging glances before wisely retreating.
As the seconds ticked down to their performance, nervousness crept in. Yet seeing Elena standing calmly among them, composed and unfazed, steadied their hearts.
Onstage, the lights flared back on as the hosts returned from commercial break, smiling brightly at the camera. "Welcome back to MusicFest Tonight!"
"Are you ready for the next performance?" the male host asked.
"Yes!" the audience roared.
"Our next performers are a rock band gaining massive attention, not just for their music but for their striking visuals—"
The introduction was drowned out by screaming.
"Pandemonium! It's Pandemonium!"
"Eros! I love you!"
"Blaze, marry me!"
