Lira’s return to Arvel was quiet, just as her departure had been. She came back not as a celebrated hero or with fanfare, but with a deeper sense of purpose. The villagers welcomed her as they always had, with warmth and familiarity, unaware of the transformation that had taken place inside her. She didn’t tell them of her encounter with Aria’s spirit, nor of the tree of forgotten melodies. Some things, she felt, were too sacred to share with the world just yet.
