Epilogue:

Years had passed since the battle against the Dark Lord, and Aric and Lyra had settled down in a small village on the outskirts of the capital city. They had both become respected members of the community, known for their bravery and skill in battle.

One day, as they were walking through the forest, they stumbled upon a group of travelers who had become lost. Aric and Lyra offered to guide them back to the nearest town, and as they journeyed together, they heard tales of a new threat to the land.

A powerful mage had been sighted in the west, and rumors said that he was gathering an army of dark creatures to take over the land. Aric and Lyra knew that they couldn't sit idly by while another threat loomed on the horizon.

Gathering their weapons, they set out on a new adventure, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. For they knew that they were the only ones who could protect the land they loved, and ensure a peaceful future for all its inhabitants.

The End.
