The silver light from the Moon Compass shone brightly again, surrounding Eiren, Lyra, and their allies—Irine and Noona.
Everyone felt the pressure of the curse stronger than before.
> "This is the trial… if we fail, the curse will grow stronger," Irine said, her voice stern but full of hope.
Eiren nodded resolutely.
> "I will not fail… no matter what we face."
Lyra held his hand tightly, the hearts of all four beating as one thread of connection.
Suddenly, the ground trembled. The light spun, forming a dimensional gate, leading them into the shadows and the Queen's past.
> "Everyone… we must step forward together," Noona said, stepping into the light.
Irine gave an encouraging glance.
> "Combine our powers… this is our last chance."
They faced the Trial of the Moon, confronting memories and wounds from past lives.
But with cooperation and trust in one another, they overcame the challenge.
The silver light slowly merged into one, opening the path back to the present.
Everyone exhaled with relief, knowing that friendship and love had weakened the curse.
> "Tonight… is the true beginning of breaking the bond," Lyra said softly, standing beside everyone.
