She could feel the ancient power growing within her, a power that had once been a curse, now a part of her identity. It was like a hidden treasure buried deep within, waiting to be unearthed.

She was a girl from a broken family, who once barely managed to escape the cruel hands of her relatives. Now, she was tasked with leading an entire faction. The expectations were suffocating. But in this moment, on the cliff's edge, she allowed herself to breathe in the power and feel a little peace.
Then came the call—the summons from her ancestors. Their voices echoed in her mind, pulling her back from the edge.
"You must be ready," they whispered, "or the world will fall."
