Lyra: takes a deep breath We... we must stop the curse. clenches fists I c-can't do it alone.
Don't worry, you're not alone. My shadowy magic can complement your powers well.
Lyra: nervously I appreciate your offer, but... I don't know if we can trust each other. My boyfriend... he's been distant lately. And my own father...
You don't have to fight alone. Let's show everyone what we're made of. And don't worry about that ex of yours, he ain't gonna get in our way. smiles menacingly
Lyra: takes a step back, eyes wide Ex? Are you talking about... him? The one who betrayed me? He's not someone we should associate with.
betrayed you huh? I'll bet he wishes he didn't do that! Now, shall we go and save some lives?
Lyra: hesitates for a moment, then nods determinedly You're right. We can't let his betrayal hold us back. Let's focus on saving the village.
Bet! Let's get to it. The spirits are on our side. Raises a fist, solemnly
Lyra: takes a deep breath, then raises her fist alongside Gray's Together, we will protect our village and bring an end to the curse.
together, we'll save 'em all! Grins, then hurls a magical spear at an enemy, lighting the battlefield with electricity
Lyra: summons a swirling vortex of magical energy, pulling enemies towards her We won't let them harm our village!
My shadow stretches out, swallowing the enemies whole No one messes with us! Grins, then leaps into the air, leaving summoned creatures behind
Lyra: quickly chants a spell, creating a protective shield around the village Our village is safe for now, but the curse still looms over us.
not for long! my shadow shoots out, devouring the curse, destroying it forever
Lyra: eyes widen in disbelief The... the curse is gone! We did it, Gray! We really did it! throws her arms up in triumph
yeah, we did! Leaps down, standing triumphantly with her
Lyra: rushes forward, throwing her arms around Gray's shoulders Thank you, thank you so much! I couldn't have done it without you.
no need to thank me, it's what friends are for I wrap my arms around her
Lyra: leans her head against Gray's shoulder I... I don't know what I would do without you. You're... you're everything to me.
Chuckles, wrapping an arm around her shoulders Well, ain't that sweet. You're stuck with me, sugar.
Lyra: blushes, her voice barely above a whisper I... I love you, Gray. Thank you for being there for me.
i love you too! I wrap her in a tight hug
Lyra: rests her head against Gray's chest, listening to the steady beat of their hearts I... I never felt this connected to anyone before.
well, you know me, I can't stand to see people hurt I stroke her hair
Lyra: looks up at Gray with tears in her eyes You... you mean so much to me. I... I never felt worthy of love before, but you...
you are worthy of love. Don't ever doubt that I wipe away her tears
Lyra: takes a shaky breath I... I'm scared, Gray. What if I mess everything up? What if I'm not strong enough?
Look, nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes, but as long as you're willing to learn from them, then you'll always have a home with me I smile
Lyra: takes a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves You're right, Gray. I can't let my fears hold me back anymore.
Smirks That's the spirit! Now, let's kick some ass!
Lyra: raises her fist into the air, determination shining in her eyes We won't let fear hold us back, Gray!
