Q: What's the best bet against the other power?

A: All the Twelve powers that hadn't been corrupted.

The horror of the situation chilled Yeriel more than the snowstorm and icy wind. From being an honour student in the most prestigious academy of the realm, she was now on the way of becoming a sacrifice to some evil ritual.

Was it for this day she left her home? Was it to become a sacrifice for a dark sorcerer? She travelled from Endus to Starlight City. Even all the fights she fought with her family to get to the academy seemed meaningless against her approaching doom.

Yeriel considered crying, but what would that achieve? She tried to resist with all she had, however, that didn’t stop them. They carried her through the storming weather to the area where they were supposed to hold the ritual. In a few hours, she would be no more, even though she heard all that nauseating talk from the warlock about power.
