The Festival of Lights in Luminara was a sight to behold. The city was aglow with magical lanterns, and the air was filled with laughter and cheer. Amidst the festivities, Benjo introduced Rico to Lyra and the council.
Eldora, the council leader, studied Rico with a curious gaze. "Two from the same world...this is unusual. The prophecy did not foretell this," she murmured.
The council decided to consult the Oracle, a mystical being with the power to interpret the prophecy. The Oracle confirmed their suspicions - Rico was indeed part of the prophecy. He was the 'Guardian', meant to protect the chosen one in times of great peril.
Rico was taken aback but accepted his role with a determined nod. He had always been protective of Benjo back in Cebu, and he was ready to do the same in Lumina.
With the revelation of the new prophecy, the Festival took on a new meaning. It was not just a celebration of hope and bravery, but also of friendship and destiny.
Benjo, Rico, and Lyra stood together, watching the magical lanterns light up the night sky. They were no longer just friends lost in a strange world. They were the chosen ones, destined to save Lumina.
