Ryker's eyes narrowed as he looked at Julian , his expression skeptical . " What's going on here ?" he repeated .
Julian stood his ground , his eyes locked onto Ryker's . " I've discovered an ancient ancient prophecy ," he said . " A prophecy that speaks of Avery and me being chosen to shape the course of history ."
Ryker's expression didn't change , but Avery could sense the tension building inside him . " What makes you think this prophecy is real ?" he asked .
Julian hesitated for a moment before answering . " Ive seen things ," he said . " Things that can't be explained . And I've felt a power inside me , a power that I don't fully understand ."
Avery felt a shiver run down her spine as she listened to Julian's words . She knew that he was telling the truth , that he genuinely beloved in this ancient prophecy .
But Ryker's expression remained skeptical . " I don't know what kind of game you're playing , Julian ," he said . " But I don't believe in prophecies or ancient powers . I believe in what I can see and touch ."
Julian's eyes flashed with anger , but Avery intervened before things escalated further . " Ryker , please listen to him ," she said . " I know this sounds crazy , but I've seen things too . Things that can't be explained ."
Ryker's expression softened slightly as he looked at Avery . " What are you talking about ?" he asked .
Avery took a deep breath before answering . " I've had visions ," she said . " Visions of a future where we're fighting against an ancient evil . And I've felt a power inside me , a power that I don't fully understand ."
Ryker's eyes widened as he listened to Avery's words . For a moment , he seemed to be considering the possibility that Julian's prophecy was real .
But then his expression hardened again . " I don't know what's going on here ," he said . " But I do know that we can't trust Julian . He's been gone for months , and now he just shows up out of the blue with some wild story about an ancient prophecy ."
Julian's eyes flashed with anger again , and Avery knew that things were about to escalate further .
But before anyone could say another word , a loud rumbling voice filled the air . The ground began to shake , and Avery stumbled as she tried to keep her balance .
As she looked around , she saw that the sky was darkening , the clouds gathering into a menacing storm .
And then , in the distance , Avery saw a figure emerging from the shadows . A figure with eyes that glowed like embers , and skin that seemed to shift and writhe like a living thing .
Avery's heart skipped a beat as she realized that their journey was far from over . In fact , it was only just beginning .
