Cruzer lay on the cool ground of the cavern, the weight of the recent battle pressing heavily on his body.
The exhaustion from fighting Varaxos, combined with the chaotic aftermath and Gin's strange intervention, had left him drained in ways beyond physical fatigue.
Elara sat beside him, her expression thoughtful as they reflected on everything that had transpired. Her eyes carried both exhaustion and a quiet determination.
"You know... we should try the Dual Harmony Technique again," she said softly, breaking the silence.
Cruzer blinked, surprised by her suggestion. They had already used the technique once before, a moment that had drawn them closer both physically and emotionally. It had been an intense experience, one that left them both stronger than any spell or potion could have achieved.
"Are you sure, Elara?" he asked cautiously, curiosity and hesitation mingling in his tone. "I didn't expect we'd use it again so soon."
