Stella & Khaos : The tale of duality.-Chapter 11: The skeptic

‎The voice belonged to a girl with piercing green eyes and raven-black hair. She leaned against a nearby pillar, her arms crossed and a smirk on her face.

‎Lyra hesitated, her eyes flicking to Elian and Kael. For a moment, it seemed like she might decline, but then she shrugged.

‎

‎"Sure. Why not?"

‎

‎As Lyra joined the group, the dynamic shifted. Elian and Kael exchanged a wary glance, unsure of what to make of Lyra's sudden interest...
