Returning to Luminara with the tamed Fire Sprite, Benjo and Lyra were greeted with cheers. Their first trial had been a success. But as the celebrations died down, Benjo couldn't help but feel a pang of homesickness. He missed his simple life back in Cebu.
Seeing his melancholy, Lyra took him to the Crystal Lake, a serene place known for its calming effects.
"Home is not a place, Benjo," Lyra said softly, "It's where your heart feels at peace. Maybe Lumina can be your home too."
Benjo looked at Lyra, her words resonating with him. He realized that he had made a friend in this strange world. He might have been far from his old home, but he was starting to feel at home in Lumina.
The following days were filled with more trials and adventures. With each passing day, Benjo grew stronger and more confident. He was still the ordinary janitor from Cebu, but he was also Benjo of Lumina, the chosen one, the friend of Lyra, and the tamer of the Fire Sprite.
As the sun set on another day in Lumina, Benjo couldn't help but smile. He was still far from being a hero, but he was no longer just an ordinary janitor. He was Benjo, the chosen one, and he was ready for whatever came next.
