Power stones☺️☺️☺️☺️

Lauryn grinned victoriously and released Luce from her grasp. She had won the fight, and she had done it on her own, without relying on any other pacts or deals. She felt a sense of pride in her own abilities and strength.
But she again said in her confident and prideful voice, "I didn't hear that, what did you say." She said her eyes straight towards Luce.
As Luce accepted his defeat, Lauryn felt a sense of relief and victory wash over her. She released her hold on him, allowing him to rise to his feet. He wore a scowl on his face that gradually transformed into a contented grin.
Luce bowed his head and closed his eyes in a submissive fashion, admitting his defeat and saying, "Yes, I yield to you. I have decided not to act against your team any longer while we are competing." Lauryn felt grateful for Luce's change of heart and hoped that he would keep his promise.
After Lauryn lifted herself off of Luce, she asked him with a solemn expression on her face, "Now tell me, is this witch that many people despised in myths truly my mother?" Luce looked at Lauryn with a blank expression, seemingly taken aback by her sudden question.
"Would that make you feel downhearted?" Luce responded, and he appeared to be genuinely interested in hearing what Lauryn had to say.
Luce's question seemed to have caught Lauryn off guard, and she took a moment to collect her thoughts before responding. "No," she finally answered, her tone serious. "To tell you the truth, it wouldn't make a bit of a difference either way if my mother killed hundreds of people or if she lived as a solitary hermit in the quiet woods of the planet."
Lauryn's words conveyed a sense of detachment and resignation, as if she had long since accepted the possibility of her mother's villainy. She had come to terms with the fact that her mother's actions did not define who she was as a person. Even if her mother were responsible for the deaths of countless individuals, it would not change Lauryn's own sense of identity or purpose.
Luce nodded slowly, as if he understood Lauryn's perspective. "I see," he said. "It seems that you have a strong sense of self. That will serve you well in the days to come."
"I see, well as I promised, I can confirm that you are most assuredly the daughter of Mistress LeFay, not only does your magic have the same feeling as hers, but you also look exactly like her," she said. Even your doggedness astonished me because of how much it resembles that of your mother.
To a large extent." Luce sighed before looking up and said, "I have decided to give up and join the Lord of Lust's team in this annoying competition."
"Why?" Lauryn asked, surprised by Luce's sudden decision.
Nyssa was surprised by Luce's decision and asked him, "You surrender? Why on earth would you choose to do that?"
"Well first is because I realize that I cannot defeat you, and if I cannot beat you, then there's no point in going against you," Luce said, shrugging his shoulders. "Furthermore, I believe that the Lord of Lust's team will be the strongest in this competition, and I want to be on the winning side." Luce said explaining the two of the first reason.
Luce explained his second reasoning, "Since Mistress LeFay's wish has been granted, I do not believe it is necessary for me to carry on with my journey at this time. I only joined with Black Steps with this goal in mind because it is not very probable that I will find Mistress LeFay's daughter even if I hunt for her on purpose. I joined with Black Steps only for this reason."
Aureal chimed in, "But you had a good chance of winning the competition, even without finding Lauryn. Your abilities as a Djinn are formidable." She said.
Luce chuckled, "Thank you for the compliment, Aureal. However, I must admit that I also don't really want to die, which is another reason why I'm going to submit."
Nyssa nodded in understanding, "That's a reasonable explanation. Your decision will be taken into consideration when determining the final result of the competition."
Luce bowed respectfully and replied, "Thank you, Nyssa. It was an honor to compete with you and your team."
Lauryn nodded, understanding Luce's reasoning. "That ought to be taken into consideration when determining the final result," she said.
Lauryn turned her attention to Luce and inquired, "How... Sincere of you. What exactly are you going to be doing from this point on? And after this complete sham of a competition?" Luce appeared to be deep in thought before responding.
"That is something about which I have not yet given much thought about," said Luce. "Since I was instructed to find you, Mistress LeFay, it has been many years, and during all of this time, I have been doing the precise things that I would have done after finding you."
Lauryn raised an eyebrow, curious about what Luce meant. "Oh, well, s---," Luce muttered under his breath. He seemed to be caught off guard by the question, and his response wasn't what Lauryn was expecting.
Nyssa and Aureal exchanged a brief glance before Nyssa spoke up. "It sounds like you're at a crossroads, Luce. Perhaps it's time for you to start thinking about what you want to do with your life, now that you're free from your mission."
Luce nodded, deep in thought. "Yes, you're right," he said. "I suppose I'll have to figure that out soon."
