Lyra, Victor, and Sylvia made their way towards the portal room, their packs secured on their backs and their spirits high. Today was the day they were stepping through another one of the mysterious doors that promised new lands, new challenges, and new opportunities to grow stronger.
The anticipation was palpable as they walked across the cobblestone paths, each of them silent with their own thoughts. Sylvia, walking beside Lyra, occasionally shot glances at the people passing by. She still seemed to be adjusting to the idea of so many different beings existing in one place without conflict. Her feline eyes darted from person to person, as if trying to decide if they were a threat.
"Are you nervous?" Victor asked, catching Sylvia's eye.
Sylvia gave a small smile, shaking her head slightly. "No. Not nervous. Just curious," she said, her voice smooth. "This will be my first time visiting another territory as a bonded. I'm still learning about all of this."
