As the energy coursed through her veins , Avery felt a strange sensation . She was filled with a newfound power , a power that seemed to be connected to the portal and the mysterious pool of water .
Without thinking , Avery raised both her hands and a blast of energy shot out , hitting Julian is guards and sent them flying . The battle paused with all eyes fixed on her in wonder .
Ryker , Lyra , and Kael stared at her in awe as they were shocked . Julian is eyes narrowed , his face full of rage .
" You think you can defeat me ?" He shouted , drawing his sword . " I will show you the true meaning of power ."
Avery smiled as she felt confidence and determination . Knowing that she had the power to defeat Julian and his guards .
With one wave of her hand she summoned a blast of energy that sent Julian in air . His guards followed fleeing in terror as she unleashed her newfound powers .
As the battle nearly came to an end , she turned to her friends with a heart filled with gratitude . " Thank you ," she said her voice trembling with emotion . " Thank you for having my back ."
Ryker smiled as his eyes held warmth . " We are not done yet ," he said . " We still have to get you back home ."
Avery nodded as she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead .
Together , the four of them approached the portal as its glowing light called them forward . Avery took a deep breath ,feeling excited.
What lay ahead . Would she be able to return home or would she be trapped in this strange , magical world forever ?
