Chapter 15 Awakening

• The atmosphere in the Elemental Academy was thick with unease. After the battle at the Equinox, the air no longer hummed with the same vibrant energy of youthful magic. Instead, a heavy stillness had settled over the grounds, broken only by whispers of the Void and the prophecy that haunted everyone’s thoughts.
• Ava sat at the edge of the cliff overlooking the enchanted lake just beyond the academy walls. It was one of the few places where she could find any semblance of peace. The waters reflected the sky, dark and swirling, a mirror of her own mind. She could feel the Fifth Element within her, a constant, humming force—alive, waiting, but still so unpredictable.
• In the distance, her friends trained. They had all agreed to become stronger after the battle, to prepare for whatever the Void’s next move might be. But for Ava, it wasn’t just about training. It was about awakening fully to her power—and understanding what it meant.
