That night, as exhaustion overtook them, Elyra and Dain fell into a deep sleep. It wasn't long before they found themselves standing in a strange, ethereal realm bathed in silver moonlight. The air was cool and still, the sky filled with stars so bright they seemed to hum. "What is this place?" Elyra asked, her voice echoing softly.

"I don't know," Dain replied, his voice steady despite the unease in his eyes.

Ahead of them, a figure emerged from the shimmering light. A woman with flowing silver hair and golden eyes that matched Elyra's stared at them, her expression a mix of sorrow and hope. She wore an elegant gown that seemed to glow with the same celestial energy as Elyra's pendant.

"Elyra," the woman said, her voice carrying warmth and authority. "You've grown so strong, my child."

Elyra stepped forward, her heart pounding. "Who are you?"

"I am Aurora," the woman said, her eyes glistening. "I am your mother."

Dain watched silently, his fists clenching as emotions warred within him. The dream felt too real, too vivid.noveldrama

Aurora raised her hand as if to touch Elyra, but the moment their fingers brushed, the vision shattered like glass.

Elyra woke with a start, her heart racing as moonlight streamed through the broken cabin walls. Dain stirred beside her, his breathing labored.

"You saw it too, didn't you?" Elyra whispered.

Dain nodded, his orange eyes meeting hers. "It was her. Your mother. I wonder if she's my mother too."

"She's calling me," Elyra said, her voice trembling with conviction. "She's out there somewhere, and she has the answers we need."

Dain sat up, his jaw set with determination. "Then we'll find her. Whatever it takes."

The quiet resolve in his voice sent a wave of reassurance through Elyra, even as the fear of what lay ahead gnawed at her heart.
