# Chapter 23: The Mysterious Message
Eira couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. Ariana's message had been vague, but it had left her with a sense of unease.
She decided to seek out Cullen's advice. Maybe he could help her decipher the meaning behind Lyra's message.
Cullen listened intently as Eira recounted her conversation with Ariana. His expression grew more serious with each passing moment.
"I don't like this," he said, his voice low and concerned. "Lyra wouldn't send a message like this unless it was something important. And Ariana... I've never heard of her."
Eira frowned. "Do you think it's a trap?" she asked.
Cullen hesitated. "I don't know," he said. "But I do know that we need to be careful. If Lyra wants to meet with you, there must be a reason. And we need to find out what that reason is."
