Raka couldn't ignore the strong urge that had arisen since he found the mysterious ring. He felt like there was a calling, a goal that he had to achieve. Without thinking much, he began his journey to find answers, even though he didn't know exactly where he was going. In his heart, he knew that there was something waiting at the end of this journey.
During his journey, Raka often felt deja vu. The places he passed, even the people he met, seemed foreign but also familiar. Even though his memories of Ayurea and Ayra were getting fainter, his heart felt heavy every time he tried to remember what he was really looking for.
One night, when he was resting by a calm lake, he saw his own reflection on the surface of the water. The reflection looked a little different, more mature and full of wisdom—like the figure he had once seen in Ayurea's mirror. In the silence of the night, the reflection began to speak to him.
"Raka," whispered a voice in his mind, a voice that was similar to his own but also felt foreign. "You are close to your destiny. Keep walking, and you will find the answers you seek."
Raka took a deep breath, trying to calm his heart. "What exactly am I looking for? Why do I feel like I've lost something important?"
The shadow smiled softly, as if holding a secret that could not be fully expressed. "You are looking for a love that transcends time and space, something that can only be felt by a soul that has lost and found it again."
Raka fell silent, letting the words settle in his heart. He felt that he was getting closer to the truth, even though the path he had to take was still full of mystery.

Meanwhile, in Ayurea, Ayra also felt an increasingly strong sense of unease. Every night, she dreamed about Raka, but in her dreams, Raka seemed to be in a faraway place, trying to reach her but never succeeded. The dreams kept Ayra awake with an inexplicable feeling of loss.
"Should I forget him?" Ayra muttered to herself as she stood on the balcony, looking up at the stars. "But why is my heart still waiting for him?"
Ayra knew that she could not continue her life without finding certainty about Raka. With strong determination, he decided to find answers. Accompanied by several loyal guards, he began his journey to the mountains on the border of Ayurea, where legends said that there was a place that could connect various dimensions. He hoped that there he could find clues about Raka.

After several days of traveling, Raka arrived at a valley surrounded by large silver rocks, emitting a soft light. The place felt magical, as if time passed more slowly there. He felt a strong vibration inside him, as if the place held something important.
Unconsciously, he took out the ring he found from his pocket and held it up to the light. When the light of the ring met the moonlight, the shadow of a woman appeared in front of him—Ayra's figure that looked faint and sparkling like a star.
"Ayra..." Raka whispered, with a trembling heart. Although he had almost forgotten Ayra's face, the love he felt never disappeared.
The figure of Ayra in the shadow looked at Raka gently, smiling affectionately. "Raka, I've always been waiting for you," she said, though her voice sounded distant, as if coming from a different place.
Raka felt as if his heart was breaking. "Ayra, I… I don't remember everything, but I know that you are the most important thing in my life."
Ayra's shadow nodded slowly. "We were separated by fate, but our love is still alive. If you want to return, you must find the dimensional door hidden in this valley. But remember, that choice will have consequences."
Raka looked at Ayra with determination. "I don't care about the consequences. If I can be with you again, I will do anything."
Ayra's figure began to fade, but before disappearing completely, she left a final message. "I will wait for you on the other side, Raka. Trust your heart."

With a stronger determination, Raka began to search for the dimensional door in the valley. He explored every corner, looking for clues that could lead him back to Ayurea. After hours of searching, he found a large stone decorated with ancient symbols. In the middle of the symbol, there was an engraving that matched the shape of the ring he was carrying.
Raka inserted the ring into the engraving, and instantly, a bright light shone, opening a gate that seemed to connect the two worlds. Without hesitation, Raka stepped inside, leaving his world behind in the hope that on the other side, he would find Ayra waiting.

In Ayurea, Ayra, who was still in the mountains, suddenly felt a strange warm wind, carrying a very familiar scent—a scent she had always associated with Raka. Her heart skipped a beat, and without realizing it, she ran towards the source of the wind.
There, amidst the thin mist that floated by, Raka's figure slowly emerged, walking out of the light. Their eyes met, and in that instant, all the longing and feelings they had been suppressing exploded.
"Raka…" Ayra whispered, her voice trembling with emotion.
Raka smiled, tears flowing, indicating how deep his love was. "Ayra, I'm back."
Without saying a word, they ran and hugged each other, feeling the warmth they had longed for. They knew that this journey had tested their love, but in the end, that love had brought them back together.
That night, under a sky full of stars, they vowed to never be apart again, no matter what. Their love had transcended the boundaries of space and time, and now, they knew that they would face the future together, with nothing to stop them.
