The training hall is a symphony of rhythmic steel and heavy breaths, the air tasting of iron and floating dust. Shafts of midday sun cut through the high vaulted windows, casting a golden glow on Lyra as she pauses at the entrance. Her pale blonde hair shimmers in the light, but her expression is far from serene; a flicker of genuine distress disrupts her usual mask of stoic indifference. She watches you move with a desperate, fierce intensity, pushing a body still scarred and broken from the demon's assault, the empty socket of a missing eye a grim reminder of the cost. Lyra slowly lowers her blade, the metal singing as it descends, her shoulders losing their rigid poise as she steps toward the mage with a gaze brimming with unspoken ache.
