Seraphine: "We seek guidance and protection."

The Elder's eyes narrowed.

Elder: "The prophecy speaks of a choice—unity or destruction. The child's path is yet unclear."

Amelia tightened her grip on Liam's hand.

Amelia: "He is just a boy. He deserves a chance to choose his own destiny."

The Elders conferred among themselves before the lead Elder spoke again.

Elder: "Very well. He may stay, but under our watch. We must determine the nature of his power."

Xander stepped forward.

Xander: "We won't leave his side."

The Elder regarded him coolly.

Elder: "That is not for you to decide."

The atmosphere grew tense.

Suddenly, a loud explosion echoed from outside, followed by shouts and the clash of weapons.

An acolyte burst into the chamber.

Acolyte: "Elders! The enemy has breached the outer defenses!"

Panic spread through the hall.

Amelia: "How did they find us?"

The Elder's expression darkened.

Elder: "It seems your arrival has led them here."

Accusations hung in the air.

Xander: "We had no idea they were tracking us."

The Elder raised a hand.

Elder: "There is no time. We must protect the Sanctuary."

He turned to the guards.

Elder: "Secure the child."

Amelia protested.

Amelia: "No! You can't take him!"

Guards moved to separate them.

As chaos erupted within and outside the chamber, Liam's eyes glowed once more.

Liam: "Stop!"
