Lyra stood in shock, her eyes wide as she processed Zariel's words. “Do you even realize what you just said?”
Zariel, remaining calm, replied, “Sister, let me explain the details.” He recounted the events that had unfolded, detailing how the twins had tormented him, even as Damon and Theron had bullied him in their defense.
Lyra reflected on those moments, recalling how she had seen Zariel as weak and pathetic back then. But now, she was stunned by his recent victory against her in their family sparring match, which had opened her heart to her little brother.

“I don’t know. We’ll find out on the day of the exam,” Zariel replied.
“Okay, I’m going to prepare too. If what you said is true, I need to be ready,” Lyra said, her resolve strengthening.
“Good luck, sister,” Zariel encouraged.
“Yeah,” was Lyra's last response as she turned to leave.
