As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden hue over the palace gardens, Nila and Laila strolled together, laughter filling the air as they shared fond memories from their days in Navaria. The nostalgia was undeniable, a balm to Nila's heart after such a whirlwind of change. The familiar sparkle in Laila's eyes and the sound of her voice brought a sense of comfort she hadn't realized she'd been missing. They swapped stories of old friends and palace gossip, their conversation laced with good-natured teasing and fits of giggles.
Nila sighed, looking up at the towers of Selene's grand palace. "It's strange, Laila," she said. "Being here, with so many new people around, but with you by my side, it feels like Navaria is just a breath away."
