As they emerged from the labyrinth , Avery felt a sense of freedom wash over her . They had made it through the trial , and they had emerged victorious .
Ryker's hand wa still clasped around hers , and Avery felt a sense of comfort and security in his presence . She knew that she wasn't alone , that Ryker was there to support her every step of the way .
Lyra and Kael were walking ahead of them , their faces set with determination . Avery knew that they were all thinking the same thing - What came next ?
As they walked , Avery felt a sense of hope rising up within her . They had defeated Arachne , and they had saved the world . They could face whatever challenges lay ahead , as long as they faced them together .
After a while , they came to a beautiful meadow filled with wildflowers and towering trees . Avery felt a sense of peace wash over her , and she knew that this was where they were meant to be .
Ryker stopped , his eyes locking onto Avery's . " We did it ," he said , his voice filled with emotion . " We made it through ."
Avery smiled , feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment . " We did ," she said . " We made it through together ."
Ryker's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled . " Together ," he repeated . " That's the only way we'll ever make it ."
As they stood there , looking into each other's eyes , Avery felt a sense of connection that she had never felt before . She knew that she was falling deeply in love with Ryker , and she could see the same feelings reflected back at her .
Lyra and Kael were standing nearby , their faces etched with happiness . Avery knew that they were all thinking the same thing - this wa just the beginning .
This was the start of their new journey , their new adventure . And Avery knew that she wa ready , as long as Ryker wa by her side .
