Eryndor and Lyra stood there for a moment, unsure of what to do next. They looked at each other, and despite the unfamiliarity, they felt a strange sense of connection.

Together, they set off towards their village, the Ancient Core's power coursing through them. As they walked, they began to notice strange things about each other. Eryndor noticed the way Lyra's hair fell in loose waves down her back, and Lyra caught herself admiring Eryndor's strong jawline.

As they approached their village, they were greeted as heroes. The villagers cheered and celebrated, thanking them for their bravery and selflessness.

Lyra smiled softly. "I know exactly what you mean. It's like there's something just out of reach, something we're forgetting."

Eryndor's expression turned thoughtful. "I've been having the same feeling. Like, glimpses of something important."
