After confronting the shadow of herself in the dark forest, Lisa still felt a whirlwind of emotions—fear intertwined with curiosity. She walked along a path lined with towering trees, each step leading her deeper into an unfamiliar realm.
"Where… exactly is this?" she whispered, but her voice vanished into the darkness. Suddenly, Kai appeared silently beside her.
"Do not be afraid. Everything here is part of the Star's trial," Kai said, his voice calm but imbued with confidence.
Lisa gave a faint smile, though fear still lingered. She realized that this journey was not only about magic but also about discovering the truth about herself.
Suddenly, a silver light shimmered from a giant tree, revealing a dimensional gate connecting the human world and the mystical realm. Aries emerged from the shadows, his eyes sparkling like black diamonds.
"The time for secrets to be revealed has come," Aries whispered.
Lisa, Kai, and Aries stared at the dimensional gate, hearts racing—the great battle was about to begin.
