**Chapter 48: The Trial of the Everbloom**
To claim the Everbloom, Lina had to pass through a series of tests that challenged her heart's true intentions. She faced illusions that tested her compassion, her willingness to sacrifice, and her capacity to forgive herself.
Each member of the team faced their own trial: Pip confronted his mischievous nature, learning to accept himself; Solara faced her fear of losing her flames; Thalos had to forgive a past mistake that haunted him.
By passing these tests, Lina proved her worth and unlocked the power of the Everbloom. Its petals shimmered with a radiant light that could restore hope and heal any wound—physical or emotional.
