Eternity, Part Fourteen

In the void, Lianna found herself standing before the radiant figure of the Lover.

The celestial being's presence was overwhelming, her ethereal light casting a gentle glow in the darkness.

Lianna's heart pounded with a mixture of confusion and awe.

"What's happening?" she asked, her voice echoing in the emptiness. "Where am I?"

The Lover smiled warmly, her eyes filled with timeless wisdom.

"Congratulations, Lianna. You and your friends have once again stopped Saren."

Lianna's brow furrowed.

"Once again? What do you mean by that?"

The Lover's expression grew somber.

"Even though you've managed to achieve something truly remarkable, Saren cannot be killed forever. He is intertwined with this world, a part of its very fabric. As long as the world exists, so too will Saren."

"Wait, what!?" Lianna felt a pang of frustration. "So, what? We fought for nothing? He'll just come back?"

The Lover shook her head gently.
