The beginning part 2

Meanwhile, Aurora, dressed in white and gold, engaged in a one-sided battle with the green-serpent-like female. With effortless grace, Aurora severed her opponent's arm and sent her crashing into a wall. She conjured a blinding wave of light, propelling her adversary through a building, leaving her disoriented and vulnerable. Diela, in the meantime, summoned a swarm of snakes to attack, but they evaporated upon contact with Aurora, as she was immune to their venom.

Amidst the chaos, Amaya swiftly took Mia and fled the scene. As they sought refuge, Elizabeth appeared, hovering above them. A man with pink hair and an all-black suit, Milo, and a woman with silver hair and light white cuffs, Vamiana, also materialized. Amaya, holding Mia tightly, assured her, "I'll be back for you. Just wait in the closet." With that, she created a portal and sent Mia into a secure hiding spot.

Curiosity piqued, Elizabeth inquired about the diamond. "Where is it?" she asked. Mia, hesitant but aware of the danger, responded, "It's none of your business. You two are busy retrieving an item for someone you don't even know, just because she can kill you with a thought." Elizabeth's expression hardened. "I suppose we'll do this the hard way," she declared. Elizabeth manipulated the fabric of reality, transporting Aurora and herself to a wooded area, with a serene blue sky overhead. Vamiana leaped and unleashed another sonic scream at Amaya, disorienting her. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Milo delivered a powerful punch to Amaya's stomach, sending her crashing into a tree.

As the battle raged on, Elizabeth continued to manipulate reality, shifting the battleground multiple times. They found themselves in a daylight-filled arena, surrounded by spectators. Vamiana screamed once more, but this time, Amaya utilized her anti-gravity technique, pushing them all away and redirecting the scream back at Vamiana. She then gathered debris with her gravity manipulation and hurled it at Elizabeth. Charging forward, she unleashed a gravity-infused punch that shattered Elizabeth's reality. Amaya concluded the skirmish with another anti-gravity pulse, sending the three villains flying.

Amaya promptly created a portal and reunited with Mia. Together, they traversed the portal and emerged before Nia and Sarah. At that moment, Aurora appeared, and the group quickly used another portal, transporting them to a magical forest illuminated by the moon's soft glow. Mia and Nia embraced, overjoyed to be together again. Aurora approached Mia, asking, "Do you have it? The diamond?" Mia retrieved the diamond from her pocket and handed it to Aurora. Filled with regret, Mia apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't know it would hurt anyone." Aurora reassured her, "It's okay. You didn't know. But this diamond carries your presence, and you have become a target since you and the diamond are connected." Mia was taken aback, and Nia interjected, "But Nia didn't touch the diamond." Mia explained, "But that's not how magic works." Aurora confirmed the unfortunate reality, revealing that Mia had been cursed, preventing her from returning to the human world.

Aurora explained that they were in the world of Ethereal, the dream world. She introduced them to the various practitioners of magic, such as sorcerers, hunters, and warriors. to fight off nightmares Aurora offered to train Mia and Nia at the Sanctum of Serenity, a magical school where they could develop their powers, refine their skills, and unlock their true potential. She explained the ranks among warriors, from Initiates, who were newcomers, to Elites, who had achieved a significant level of mastery.

As Aurora imparted this knowledge, the group of five walked onto the school campus, leaving Mia and Nia in awe of the magical world and the endless possibilities that awaited them.
