The celebration

*Chapter 20: The Celebration*

Eira and Lyra returned to the castle, where they were greeted as heroes. The other students and teachers gathered around, congratulating Eira on her victory.

The castle's great hall was filled with music and laughter as a grand feast was laid out. Eira sat at the head table, surrounded by her friends and mentors.

As they ate and celebrated, Eira felt a sense of belonging and purpose. She knew that she still had much to learn and face, but she was ready for whatever challenges lay ahead.
