Magma roared beneath the stone pillar, its heat warping the air around Violet’s bound wrists. The rock groaned, sinking inch by inch into the abyss. Above, the cavern shook as Green’s voice shattered the silence, followed by Blue’s agile leap and Red’s breathless arrival. Vio strained against his bonds, eyes wide with panic, watching the ground crack beneath his friends' feet. The betrayal of the Dark Mirror still burned in his mind—the look on Shadow’s face, the words ‘You’re my only friend.’ Now, surrounded by monsters and falling stone, Vio shouted a warning as Blue cut his ropes and Red froze the crumbling earth. Blades flashed in the dim light, four heroes striking as one, while the memory of the shadow’s shattered hope haunted Vio’s every move.
