Elyra stood before the door, its towering frame carved with glowing runes that pulsed faintly, as if alive. Her breaths came shallow and uneven, her heart pounding in her chest. The enormity of the moment bore down on her, heavy with fear and doubt. She hesitated, her voice trembling as she spoke. "What if they don't want us back? What if we're not what they expected?"

Dain moved closer, his presence steadying. His orange eyes burned with determination as he reached for her hand, his grip warm and firm. "You're more than they could ever hope for," he said, his voice low but resolute. "And you're not doing this alone." Elyra looked up at him, the strength in his words cutting through her uncertainty. The air between them seemed to hum with something unspoken, a connection that had only deepened over their journey. In that moment, the world around them faded, leaving only the two of them.

Her heart raced as she leaned toward him, her silver hair glinting faintly in the light of the runes. Dain's gaze softened, his own resolve wavering as the emotions they had both kept buried surfaced.

But just as their closeness became too much to ignore, the ground beneath them rumbled violently, cutting through the charged moment. The runes on the door flared brightly, their light flickering as the tremors intensified.

Dain stepped protectively in front of Elyra, his hand tightening around hers. "Something's coming," he said, his voice sharp with urgency.
