The fiery orb fell down, enveloping the combined body of She Huan and the Golden Scale Snake.
Neither of them resisted; although they didn't recognize the Candle Dragon, they slipped into sleep due their vague memory's trust in it.
The Candle Dragon shook its head and sighed. Their old subordinate left too quickly, without even saying goodbye. He didn't know if the former had glimpsed the future or decided to take their own life due to the relentless passage of time.
Either way, the person was gone.
The Candle Dragon bowed its head in silence, feeling a bit gloomy. With a wave of its large hand, the fiery orb disappeared into the void, and the red clothing turned into spiritual energy and dispersed.
"It's been too long... Immortality trumps loneliness..."
...
In the heart of the secret land, the fiery void continuously trembled.
