The grand ballroom faded, replaced by a forest glowing with bioluminescent plants. Elara stumbled forward, still in her scrubs, clutching the pendant that had brought her here. The violet-eyed man, whose name she now learned was Kael, walked beside her.
"You feel it, don't you?"
Kael asked.
"The magic that flows through everything here. It's connected to your gift as a healer."
Elara shook her head
. "I… I just know how to help people with medicine. That's all. What kind of magic?"
Kael smiled faintly.
"Not all healing comes from pills or surgery. Here, your heart, your intention, and even your knowledge of the human body can shape the energy around you. You are a bridge between two worlds—your scrubs world, and ours, the world of suits and magic."
As they walked, a small creature darted out from the bushes. It looked like a fox but with wings of translucent crystal.
"Meet Lyria," Kael said.
"She'll guide you in learning how to channel your abilities."
Elara reached out slowly, and the creature landed on her shoulder. A warm, tingling sensation spread through her fingers.
"I… I think I can feel it,"
she whispered.
Kael nodded.
"This is only the beginning. Every choice you make here will affect both your worlds. The question is… are you ready to accept what you are meant to become?"
