Months after the battle, the glade grew stronger and more beautiful by the day. Supported by an increasingly close-knit community, Jeongin and I worked on new projects aimed at improving the quality of life in the glade. The crystals, once just mysterious artifacts, became a key element of our daily lives. Each resident found their own way to utilize them, and our shared experiences strengthened our bonds.
One of the most important projects was the creation of the Crystal Center—a place where residents could exchange knowledge and experiences about the magic of crystals and hone their skills. The center became a gathering spot where everyone could delve into the secrets of crystal power and share their discoveries.
Jeongin and I, as the main teachers, organized regular workshops that attracted people from various parts of the realm. Over time, the Crystal Center also became a venue for various cultural events, such as concerts, exhibitions, and festivals. The glade was, with each moment, becoming a center of social and cultural life, drawing the attention of an increasing number of people.
However, despite the progress, we did not forget our main goal: to continue our discoveries related to the power of crystals and their impact on life. Every day we explored new possibilities and tested different applications of crystals, striving to uncover the mysteries that still lay hidden before us.
One day, during one of these explorations, we discovered an ancient text hidden in the corners of the Crystal Center. It was a damaged parchment that contained fragments of forgotten spells and rituals related to crystals.
“This could be groundbreaking,” Jeongin said, looking at the parchment with great interest. “We need to understand how these spells could influence our research.”
I agreed but emphasized that we needed to be cautious. “We must analyze each fragment carefully and ensure we don’t introduce any dangerous elements into our practice.”

In the following weeks, we spent many hours studying the ancient spells. Our efforts paid off—we discovered new techniques that could be used to enhance the protection of the glade and improve the healing properties of the crystals.
As the anniversary of our arrival at the glade approached, we organized a special event to thank everyone for their effort and contributions to the development of the glade.
In the evening, during the festival, the glade was filled with lights and sounds. Music echoed from every corner, and people danced and sang, celebrating the achievements of the past year together. Jeongin and I, sitting together by the campfire, felt a deep joy and satisfaction from what we had accomplished.
“Looking at what we’ve created, I can’t help but feel proud,” I said, gazing at the cheerful crowd. “This is all possible thanks to you, Inna. Your support and dedication have been invaluable.”
The boy smiled and replied, “You have been my inspiration. Together we’ve created something unique, something that can last for many years. You’re not just a friend to me; you’re someone very important.”
Our conversation was interrupted by the laughter and applause of the residents, who began handing us symbolic gifts and letters of thanks. We were touched and felt that our efforts were appreciated and had brought real benefits to the community.
At the end of the festival, as night began to give way to dawn, we found a moment for ourselves away from the crowd. We stood at the edge of the glade, watching the first rays of sunlight rising over the horizon.
“Our journey has been full of challenges, but also beautiful moments,” Jeongin said, looking at me. “And I know our shared future will be just as special.”
I looked at him, and our eyes met in a tender gaze. “I’m ready for whatever the future holds, as long as you’re by my side.”
Our closeness was now more evident than ever. Though we knew more challenges awaited us, we felt prepared to face them together. Our bond, strengthened by shared experiences and feelings, was stronger than any adversity.
As the sun rose over the glade, holding hands, we knew our journey was just beginning. Our mission, discoveries, and relationships were now part of a larger story about love, friendship, and the collective pursuit of a better tomorrow.
