The lost city embraced Ciara and her family like an old friend, its glimmering crystal walls and quiet sanctuaries seeming to pulse with welcome. For Ethan and Emery, the place was a dream come alive, a magical fortress where their mother's stories took on vivid, tangible shapes. They roamed the ancient pathways in awe, darting between towering monuments and enchanted stone, calling out excitedly to Fidel whenever they discovered new details carved into the walls.
In the mornings, Ciara trained with her sons in the city's open-air courtyard. She taught them to harness their growing powers, guiding them through drills to balance agility and strength. Fidel watched from nearby, his pride evident as he observed his family together in the city, safe for the first time in months.
