Chương 106: Your actions have proven your strength

The night deepened, and the stars above seemed to twinkle with a renewed sense of purpose. Raven and I stood by the shore, the cool sand beneath our feet grounding us in this moment of newfound understanding. My grandmothers, Elara and Seraphina, had brought a sense of completion to a journey that felt like it had only just begun. As we made our way back to the hotel, I felt the weight of the day's revelations settle into a comfortable place in my heart.

The following morning, sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow over the room. I stirred, feeling the soft sheets and the comforting presence of Raven beside me. Her breathing was steady, a soothing rhythm that anchored me in the present.

Gently, I slipped out of bed, careful not to wake her. I needed a moment to myself to process everything that had happened. The events of the past days had been overwhelming, and I felt a deep need to ground myself in this new reality.
