There was a note of respect in her voice, and Lyerin appreciated it, even as his smile remained enigmatic. "For the future," he replied simply, leaving them even more intrigued.
The girls exchanged glances, clearly wanting to ask more, but before they could, Lyerin waved his hand dismissively. "You'll understand in time. For now, enjoy your new forms, but stay ready. We have much to do."
Corora, who had been silently observing everything, suddenly leaped up, her enthusiasm bubbling over. "Does this mean we're finally going to level up?" she asked, her voice filled with eager anticipation.
Lyerin nodded, his eyes twinkling with approval. "Yes. You'll need to be ready for what's to come."
At his words, the girls visibly perked up, their earlier curiosity giving way to excitement. They had been waiting for this moment, the chance to grow stronger, to unlock the next stage of their transformation.
