บท 231: Lucian

Wanda held the Golden Canary tightly in her hands, feeling the warmth emanating from the tiny golden feathers. She knew the battle was far from over, but this was a pivotal moment - the success she and Lucian had fought so hard for was finally in her hands. For a brief moment, Lucian's blue eyes met Wanda's and they both shared a look of quiet triumph. But deep down, Wanda knew that capturing the Golden Canary was only the beginning of something much greater.

The clearing they were in seemed magically illuminated by the bird's feathers, reflecting the golden light that shone as if the sun itself had decided to focus its attention only on that patch of forest. The surrounding trees remained motionless, as if watching the events unfold with the same anticipation that Wanda and Lucian felt.
