CHAPTER 4
A Mysterious Ally
The next morning, Kael awoke to the sound of rustling leaves. He expected more enemies, but instead, a girl appeared—a human, like him.
|Character Detected: Lyria Moonfall
Level : Unknown
Lyria's long silver hair glinted in the sunlight. Her expression was calm, almost curious.
—You're… alive? —she asked softly.
Kael noticed a faint glow in her hands. Healing magic. His first encounter with another person in Aetherion was not hostile, but hopeful.

Lyria studied him carefully.
—This forest is dangerous. You shouldn't be wandering alone.
Kael explained to him how he woke up in the forest, how he fought with the wolves, and about his weakness.
—You have a rare gift… but you're playing with fire.
The forest growled around them, as if responding. Kael tightened his fists.
—Then I'll learn to control it.
