In the midst of the purple lightning, Madison caught a final glimpse of Malcolm. There was something in his smile, a mix of relief and an inexplicable mockery. Madison said nothing.

Malcolm's voice echoed through the air. "Madison, opposing a favored one of the heavens never ends well. You have your sense of justice, but the heavens have theirs too. Do you think you can really fight against the heavens?" His words faded into the silence.

The purple talismans turned to ash and scattered to the ground. Amidst the dust, a wisp of smoke rose, curling into the air before vanishing completely.

Madison stood still as she gazed up at the sky, her hand clenching into a fist. She already knew what it meant to go against a favored one of the heavens. But that didn't mean she would abandon her own sense of justice just to save herself. With determination, Madison headed toward the direction she had divined.
