Sunny's POV
"We don't have time to waste on death prophecies!" Sunny shouted, grabbing Luna's hand and pulling her toward the cave entrance. "The Council is getting stronger while we stand here arguing!"
Luna stumbled after him, her recovered memories still making her dizzy. "But Sunny, we need to talk about what the prophecy means—"
"Later," Sunny interrupted as they emerged from the ice cave. "Right now we need the second ingredient before our magic dies completely."
The Ice Phoenix was waiting for them outside, holding a small crystal vial filled with frozen tears. "Your trial is complete," it said, offering them the container. "But I must warn you - the memories you've recovered will make the remaining trials much more dangerous."
"Why?" Luna asked, accepting the vial of rage tears.
"Because now you know the truth about your fate," the Phoenix replied. "That knowledge will affect everything you see and do from this point forward."
