As Avery gazed at the crystal , she felt an inexplicable connection to it . The crystal seemed to be calling to her , urging her to take it . She reached out a hand , her fingers hovering above the crystal is surface .
Julian is eyes gleamed with excitement as he watched her . " Yes Avery take it . Feel its power coursing through you ."
But Lyra is grip on her arm tightened , holding her back . " No Avery do not ! You do not know what you are dealing with ."
Avery hesitated , torn between Julian is urging and Lyra is warning . The crystal seemed to be radiating with an otherworldly energy , and she could feel its power calling to her .
Suddenly , Ryker stepped forward , his eyes fixed on Avery . " Perhaps my dear , you should listen to Lyra is warning . The crystal is power is not to be messed with ."
Julian is face darkened , his eyes flashing with anger . " Ryker , what are you doing ? You are supposed to be listening to me , not disobeying me ."
Ryker is smile was enigmatic. I am just trying to make sure that Avery understands the risks involved , my lord .
Avery felt a surge of unease as she realized that she was caught in the middle of a power struggle . Julian seemed determined to use the crystal is power to further his own goals , while Lyra and Ryker seemed to be working against him .
As she gazed at the crystal , Avery knew that she had to make a choice . Would she succumb to the crystal is power and risk everything , or would she heed Lyra is warning and try to find a way out of this treacherous world ?
The air was thick with tension as Avery hesitated , the crystal is power calling to her like a siren is song . What would she do next ?
