Chapter 150: Return to the Ashborne
As Lyra stirred from her slumber, she found herself arriving at the resistance club's headquarters, nestled within the familiar walls of Ashborne Academy. The sight of the academy filled her with a sense of homecoming, a welcome respite after her harrowing ordeal at the Nightfall Mansion. The resistance club, hidden yet obvious to those who knew where to look, was a refreshing change of pace for Lyra, who hadn't set foot outside the mansion in what felt like an eternity.
As she stepped into the resistance base, Lyra was greeted by a chorus of cheers and applause. She instantly recognized faces from the Nightfall raid, their expressions filled with a mixture of relief and admiration. Cherry, one of the resistance members, exclaimed, "Lyra Argyle, the one who led us through the raid and defeated the Shadowfall Mafia!"
Amid the congratulations and praise, Lyra's gaze drifted towards Elias, who had remained silent since the raid. He avoided her gaze, his expression unreadable, and Lyra felt a pang of uncertainty in her chest.
As the celebrations continued, Kai and Silas approached Lyra, their expressions bittersweet. "It's time for us to head back to Solaris," they informed her, their voices tinged with regret.

As they walked away, Lyra glanced back at Silas and Kai, who waved farewell as they disappeared into the distance. She knew that the road ahead would be challenging, filled with uncertainties and unanswered questions. But with the support of her friends and the strength of the resistance behind her, Lyra felt ready to face whatever lay ahead.
She turned her attention back to Clara, eager to reconnect and share her experiences. Yet, in the back of her mind, Lyra couldn't shake the feeling that her journey was far from over.
