Capítulo 146: Reunite
As Lyra and Elias raced through the gardens of the Nightfall Mansion, their hearts pounding with a mixture of fear and determination, they couldn't help but wonder about the fate of their companions. Kai and Silas had stayed behind to fight off Sophia and her minions, buying them precious time to escape. But now, as they neared the edge of the shadow veil, Lyra and Elias couldn't shake the nagging worry that their friends might not have made it out alive.
Suddenly, a shimmering portal appeared before them, its edges crackling with arcane energy. Lyra and Elias skidded to a halt, their eyes wide with surprise and hope. And then, emerging from the swirling vortex like heroes of legend, came Kai and Silas.
Kai was grinning from ear to ear, his face smudged with soot and his clothes torn and bloodied. But his eyes sparkled with the same mischievous light that Lyra had come to know and love. "Miss me?" he quipped, his voice filled with a mixture of exhaustion and triumph.
Silas, meanwhile, looked as calm and composed as ever, his glasses glinting in the moonlight. But Lyra could see the relief in his eyes, the joy at being reunited with his newfound family. "We couldn't let you have all the fun, now could we?" he said, his voice warm with affection.
Lyra felt tears of relief prick at the corners of her eyes as she rushed forward to embrace her friends. "I was so worried," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "I thought... I thought maybe..."
Kai hugged her back fiercely, his voice uncharacteristically serious as he replied, "Hey, hey, none of that. You know us better than that, Lyra. We're too stubborn to die."
Silas nodded in agreement, his hand resting gently on Lyra's shoulder. "Kai's right," he said softly. "We made a promise to keep you safe, and we intend to keep it. No matter what."
Elias joined the group hug, his arms encircling his friends with a fierce protectiveness. "I knew you guys would make it," he said, his voice filled with pride and admiration. "You're the toughest, most resourceful people I know."
For a moment, the four of them simply stood there, basking in the warmth and comfort of their reunion. They had been through so much together, had faced down horrors that most people could scarcely imagine. But through it all, they had remained true to each other, had fought and bled and sacrificed for the sake of their friendship and their cause.
As they finally pulled apart, Kai's eyes fell on the shimmering vial in Lyra's hand. "Is that what I think it is?" he asked, his voice filled with a mixture of awe and excitement.
Lyra nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. "The anti-veil potion," she confirmed, holding the vial up to the light. "Our ticket out of this place."
