Lyra: An S-Rank in Potential 

Since the moment she was created, Lyra demonstrated impressive abilities. Although Rafa hadn't explicitly specified her power level when creating her, she quickly proved to be an S-rank mage, capable of rivaling the greatest warriors of Eldoria. 

Power Demonstration (Third Person) 

During a private training session in the main arena, Rafa watched as Lyra faced off against Kael's clones. She moved with angelic grace, but her attacks were devastating. With a simple gesture, she invoked healing energy fields that protected allies and restored serious injuries. When necessary, she could channel that same energy into offensive explosions, disintegrating targets with surgical precision. 

"Impressive," Rafa murmured, watching her defeat five clones simultaneously. "You are even more powerful than I imagined." 

Lyra smiled softly, but there was a gleam of curiosity in her eyes. "Thank you, Rafa. But there's still much I wish to learn." 

He noticed that she no longer called him "master," something that had surprised him at first but now seemed natural. 

Communication with the Citizens 

Lyra quickly became a beloved figure among the inhabitants of the territory. Her presence was comforting, and she had a unique way of connecting with people. 

Public Interactions (Third Person) 

In a bustling square, Lyra walked among the citizens, listening to their stories and offering help whenever possible. She healed small injuries of workers, consoled families facing hardships, and even helped children understand magical concepts in public schools. 

"She is like an angel sent to us," commented an elderly woman as Lyra healed a cut on her hand. "I've never seen someone so kind and powerful at the same time." 

Lyra bowed respectfully. "I am here to serve and learn from all of you." 

Her humility and empathy won the hearts of the citizens, who began to see her as a leader just as much as Rafa. 

Rafa Explains the World to Lyra 

Despite her strength and intelligence, Lyra was still learning about the world around her. Rafa decided to explain everything to her, from the ranking systems to the existence of dungeons and the conflicts between realms. 

Conversation Between Rafa and Lyra (Third Person) 

Sitting on the balcony of the main tower, Rafa began explaining the workings of Eldoria. 

"This world is divided into realms, each ruled by nobles or monarchs," he said, pointing to a holographic map projected in the air. "Individuals are ranked from D to S based on their strength and abilities. Dungeons are dangerous places where powerful creatures reside, but they are also sources of treasures and knowledge." 

Lyra listened attentively, absorbing every detail. "And you... you're different from them all, aren't you?" 

Rafa smiled. "Yes. I am the Visionary. I can create and shape this world as I wish. But that doesn't mean I'm invincible. There are always challenges to face." 

Lyra tilted her head, thoughtful. "You created me to be your partner, but I feel there is so much more I can do. I want to understand this world and help improve it." 

Rafa was impressed by her determination. "You're becoming more than I imagined, Lyra. And that's something I never planned." 

Genuine Feelings 

Although Rafa had not created feelings in Lyra, she began to develop her own emotions as she interacted with the world around her. She felt admiration for Rafa, not as a creator or master—but as an equal. 

Moment of Reflection (Third Person) 

During a quiet night, Lyra found Rafa in the library of the tower, where he was reading ancient manuscripts about magic. 

"You look tired," she said, approaching. "You should rest." 

Rafa looked up, surprised by the concern in her voice. "I'm fine. There's much to do before the tournament." 

Lyra sat beside him, her blue eyes shining with sincerity. "I know you carry many responsibilities. But you don't have to do it all alone. I'm here to help." 

Rafa hesitated for a moment, realizing something unexpected. Lyra wasn't acting like a creation—she was genuinely caring. 

"Do you... like me?" he asked, hesitantly. 

Lyra smiled softly. "Yes. Not because I was programmed to, but because I see who you truly are. You're more than a visionary. You're someone who seeks to change the world for the better." 

Rafa felt something he rarely experienced: gratitude and genuine connection. 

Rafa's Reflection 

After the conversation with Lyra, Rafa began reflecting on his creations. He had always seen them as tools or extensions of his will, but Lyra was proving they could be so much more. 

Rafa's Thoughts (Third Person) 

As he watched the horizon from the balcony, Rafa thought about what Lyra represented. 

"I created her to be my partner, but she is becoming something greater," he murmured. "Maybe my creations aren't just tools. Maybe they can have their own purpose." 

This idea was new to him, but also intriguing. If Lyra could develop her own feelings and goals, maybe other creations could too. 

Final Preparations for the Tournament 

While dealing with these reflections, Rafa and Lyra continued preparations for the Prova da Aurora. Lyra took an active role, helping Kaelen adjust the preliminary challenges and ensuring the competitors were treated with respect. 

"This tournament will be a turning point," Lyra told Rafa as they supervised the final adjustments to the arena. "Not just for you, but for all of us." 

Rafa nodded, confident. "Together, we will make history." 

Dark Plots Intensify 

Meanwhile, the conspiracies against Rafa continued to gain strength. Dissatisfied merchants and their allies were about to execute their sabotage plan during the tournament. 

"Soon we'll find out if he's as powerful as they say," whispered one of the conspirators as he hid magical weapons in a cart. 

However, Kael and his clones were monitoring every move. 

"Master," Kael said to Rafa, projecting holograms of the intercepted conversations. "They're ready to act." 

Rafa smiled coldly. "Let them come. When they arrive, we'll show them the true power of this territory." 

Final Reflection 

On the tower's balcony, Rafa and Lyra watched the movement below, side by side. 

"This is just the beginning," Rafa said with a confident smile. "Soon, all of Eldoria will know my legacy is unshakable." 

Lyra gently held his hand. "And I will be by your side, not as a creation, but as your partner." 

Rafa looked at her, feeling something he had never felt before. 

"You are more than I could have ever imagined," he murmured.
