Lynn's POV:
As I sifted through the charred remains of what once was Aria’s and Adonis’s cottage, my hands coated in a fine layer of soot, I could still feel the heat that lingered from the recent attack on Nathiel’s pack. The air held a pungent scent of smoke and lost dreams, but beneath it all, there stirred a pulse of hope. It had been several days now, yet the devastation seemed as immediate as the moment we'd first witnessed it, our hearts heavy with sorrow.
The murmurs of my name, intertwined with Alan's, fluttered around us like persistent butterflies, carrying tales of tragedy entangled with whispers of new beginnings. Our story, with its jagged edges and tender moments, resonated throughout the magical community, drawing them together in an act of unity I’d never anticipated.
