Reborn to Rule the Shadows
Episode 3 : Determined
Tears stung Lyra’s eyes before she could stop them. She blinked rapidly, trying to clear them, but it was too late.
[Aria’s smile faltered, replaced by a worried frown.]
Aria veylin(fl's BFF)
"Lyra? Hey... are you okay?" [she asked, leaning closer.] "You’re crying..."
That wasn’t like her — not the old Lyra, and certainly not the Lyra she needed to be now.
[She wiped the tears from her cheeks quickly, forcing a soft laugh.]

"It’s nothing. Just... a weird dream before waking up. I guess it shook me up more than I thought."
[Aria’s eyes softened with concern.]
Aria veylin(fl's BFF)
"You sure? You’re usually the one telling me not to overthink things."
[She bumped her shoulder lightly against Lyra’s, trying to coax a real smile.]
[Lyra managed one — small, but real smile this time.]
Lyra Nightshade (fl)
"I'm okay. Promise."
[smiling]
Inside, her heart was still pounding, the memories — the betrayal, the blood, the cold emptiness of death — lurking just beneath the surface.
But she had learned something the hard way:
'Showing weakness only made you a target.'
Aria veylin(fl's BFF)
"Alright, but if you ever need to talk, I'm here, okay?" [Concerned ]
[Lyra nodded, gratitude tightening her throat for a moment.]
'Aria had always been like this — loyal, kind, a light Lyra didn’t know she needed until it was too late.'
Lyra Nightshade (fl)
(I'll protect her. I'll protect everyone I couldn't save before.)*thinking*
Before she could say anything more, the lecture hall lights flickered, and the heavy oak doors swung open.
[Professor Haldren entered, his sharp gaze sweeping over the students.]
Professor Haldren
"Settle down, everyone. Open your notes. Today, we begin the theory of anomalous energies..."
As the students shuffled and quieted, Lyra straightened her spine.
"The game had already begun."
