The air crackled with tension as Charlotte Wraith stood poised in a dimly lit section of the warehouse. The echoes of her footsteps bounced off the concrete walls, accompanied by the distant sounds of slashing metal and muffled shouts. Crates stacked high seemed to obscure part of the view, but she could feel the incoming threat—she always could.
Amidst the chaos, a figure darted out from behind a stack of crates, brandishing a dagger. It was a masked mercenary, a lone wolf sent to capture the famed Fire Princess. With a swift motion, Charlotte extended her arm, channeling her magic. Flames flickered at her fingertips, igniting her fiery aura.
"You picked the wrong girl to mess with!" Charlotte said.
With a determined shout, she thrust her palm forward, sending a massive fireball hurtling through the air. It exploded against the mercenary, engulfing him in a blaze that brightened the shadowy warehouse like a dying star. The force of the explosion sent him crashing backward, knocking over crates.

Before she could finish her sentence, {{user}} was already casting her own spell, a shimmering barrier bursting into existence between her and the charging thug. The thug collided with the barrier, bouncing off in shock.
