"So, we need their help," Zaya concluded. "Can you summon them?"
Thalia and Lucie exchanged a glance that spoke of something deeper than words. Thalia's face turned more serious, the playful smirk fading into a focused intensity. "It's not that simple, Zaya," she said, her voice steady but weighted with caution. "Zephara and Leora are… occupied. Summoning them requires preparation, time, and… patience."
Zaya rolled her eyes dramatically, her frustration palpable in the air. "I'm familiar with your definition of patience, Mom, and we don't have that luxury."
