Lyra's eyes widened as she considered the weight of Elara's offer. She looked at her friends, seeking their input. Raven's eyes gleamed with mischief, while Kaelara and Lirien exchanged a thoughtful glance.
"What do you think?" Lyra asked them.
Raven spoke up first. "I'd wish for infinite magical energy. Imagine the possibilities!"
Kaelara and Lirien nodded in agreement, but Lyra hesitated. She thought about all the times she'd used magic to help others, but also about the risks and responsibilities that came with such power.
"I'm not sure," Lyra said finally. "I don't want to wield that much power."
Elara's expression was understanding. "Your decision is wise, Lyra. Magic can be a double-edged sword. Very well, I shall offer you an alternative."
She gestured to a pedestal nearby, where a small, glowing crystal sat. "This crystal contains a single wish, imbued with the power of the city's magic. You may use it once, and it will grant your heart's desire."
Lyra's eyes sparkled as she reached for the crystal. "I'll take it," she said, her mind racing with possibilities.
Raven grinned. "Good choice, Lyra. You're going to change the world."
As Lyra held the crystal, she felt its energy coursing through her veins. She closed her eyes, focusing on her heart's desire.
"I wish for the power to heal any wound or ailment," she said finally.
The crystal glowed brighter, and Lyra felt a surge of energy course through her body. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the chamber was bathed in a warm, golden light.
Elara nodded in approval. "Your wish is granted, Lyra. May your newfound power bring hope and healing to those in need."
