Overview (Season 2):
The provided synopsis for Season 2 states: "When Kyra uncovers a threat to both the human and magic worlds, she must try to unite humans, elves, and fairies in order to save them all."
Problem: The synopsis provided is very short. I need to reach 160-220 words.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES."
Conflict: The synopsis is only 31 words. If I expand it to 160-220 words, I will be inventing details, which is strictly forbidden.
Wait: Let me re-read the prompt. "factual 160-220 word summary of this season's narrative arc."
If the source material doesn't have enough words to reach the minimum word count without inventing facts, I am in a bind. However, as an archivist, I cannot invent.
Let's look at the sources again.
Source [4] describes Kyra's origin: "When ordinary teenager Kyra touches a mysterious book, she is transformed into a Tri-ling–part-human, part-fairy and part-elf.
