The path ahead was still uncertain, and the darkness loomed, but for the first time since leaving her moonlit kingdom, she didn’t feel entirely alone. She had an unlikely companion, a mischievous spirit, and a growing understanding that true strength wasn't just about wielding magic, but about finding it in the most unexpected of places.
