Ash stood before the lord trembling with tears in his eyes, “I can’t let you harm anymore people!” The Lord laughed at ash’s display of courage, “you were always a wimp ash.” Ash took in a deep breath, “you killed the mages, and let the humans be blamed!” The lord rolled his eyes, “so what I needed full power.” Mya was still on the ground listening to their conversation, “he killed the mages.” his eyes widened in disbelief, one because that would make him hundreds of years old, and two she never thought he would do such a thing, she knew he was evil but not evil enough to wipe out a whole species. Ash was still lecturing the lord while shaking, “power isn’t everything.” “Power is everything, and the sooner you learn that the better you’ll be.” The lord was at his limits. “Tha’s not true,” ash protested.
The lord sighed, officially at his limit, “unfortunately you won't live to learn it!” Mya realizing what was about to happen, “Stop!” Mya weakly manages to stand. Mya looked around realizing the position they were in. Just then it dawned on her, the way they could still win this fight. The Lord smiled as he created a lightning bolt and was about to hit ash with it. Right before it could hit ash, Mya clapped her hands together freezing time. Mya had walked up to ask and put her hand on his shoulder, creating a time bubble so he could move, just as she’d done once before. Ash looked around startled, “what happened!” “calm down.” “Why is everyone frozen,” Ash asked not hearing a word out of Mya’s mouth. Mya sighed, “I froze time.” Ash looked at the lightning bolt inches away from him, “looks like you did it at the right time.” “I agree, now will you help me collect the books?” Ash nodded. Ash walked over to the Lord and took the book of fire out of the air, when he did the symbol on the lord's forehead faded a little.

“It looks like the books are linked to the symbols.” Mya nodded as she followed Ash's lead by taking the book of water. The symbol faded even more, “looks like you’re right.” Mya quickly reached out and grabbed all of the rest of the books until the symbol on the lord's forehead had completely vanished. “Now what,” Ash asked curiously. “I unfreeze time.” “why?” Mya smiled, “destroying the books takes a lot of energy, it won't work if time is frozen.” Ash sighed then nodded, I understand.” Mya smiled, about to clap her hands together, “you may want to step back.” Ash stepped back out of the way of the lightning bolt. Mya clapped her hands together. As time went back to normal. The lighting bolt quickly struck the wall, making the wall turn to dust. The Lord put his hand out trying to do something else but failed.
“My power, what happened! How do you have the books!” The lord streaked. Mya chuckled, “I’m a mage, all you can do is control the elements.”Mya smiled, “say goodbye to world domination.” “No!,” The lord shouted as he shot shadows at her. The shadows just bounced off a blue-tinted light. “You can’t touch me.” The books starts to circle her, first slowly, then the speed picked up every second. “Say goodbye to this war.” “I refuse to lose!” Mya puts her hands parallel to each other, first, it turned into a ball of water, then the fire was added after that came to earth, and air. Mya smiled, “these books have caused enough pain.” She stretched her hands apart, making the ball bigger, and bigger. Soon the ball covered her whole body. Just then it felt like time had stopped once more. It felt like a century went by until the ball vanished. As it vanished the books torn apart had fallen to the ground.
