The Awakening

Lyra's eyes were fixed on her glowing hands as she tried to process what was happening. She had always felt like there was something missing inside her, something she couldn't quite put her finger on.

But now, as she looked at her glowing hands, Lyra felt a sense of wonder and excitement. She was awakening to a new reality, a reality where she was a powerful supernatural being.

Kael's voice cut through her thoughts. "Lyra, you need to learn how to control your powers," he said. "You can't let them consume you."

Lyra nodded, still feeling a little dazed. She knew Kael was right. She needed to learn how to control her powers if she was going to fulfill her destiny.

"Teach me," Lyra said, looking up at Kael.

Kael nodded. "Let's start with the basics," he said.

And with that, Lyra's training began. She spent hours with Kael, learning how to harness her powers and control the shadows.

As the day wore on, Lyra felt herself growing stronger and more confident. She was finally embracing her true nature, and it felt amazing.

But as the sun began to set, Lyra couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. She looked around, but saw nothing.

"Kael, do you feel that?" Lyra asked.

Kael's eyes narrowed. "Feel what?" he asked.

Lyra hesitated. "I don't know," she said. "It's just a feeling."

Kael's face was grim. "We need to get out of here," he said. "Now."
