The days passed, and the tension in the palace grew. Ling could feel the weight of the ancient evil bearing down on her, and she knew that the final battle was approaching.
Shin was busy gathering the kingdom's most powerful sorcerers, preparing them for the impending battle. Ling joined them, learning new strategies and techniques to enhance her magical abilities.
As the sorcerers gathered, Ling noticed that they were all from different backgrounds and had varying levels of skill. Some were seasoned veterans, while others were young and inexperienced. Despite their differences, they all shared a common goal: to protect the kingdom from the ancient evil.
The sorcerers began to discuss their plan of attack, debating the best way to defeat the evil. Ling listened intently, offering her own insights and suggestions. She was determined to do everything in her power to help the kingdom.

Together, Ling and Shin stood ready, prepared to face the gathering storm. The final battle was about to begin, and Ling was determined to emerge victorious.

With a deep breath, Ling steeled herself for the challenge ahead. She was ready to face the darkness, armed with her magical abilities and her determination to protect the kingdom.
The battle was about to begin, and Ling was ready to fight.
