'As expected'
A sense of triumph and relief marked the journey back to our territory. As we swam through the familiar currents, a palpable air of victory enveloped us, lifting our spirits after the intense clash with the Terraformis Stonelord.
The aquatic realm echoed with celebratory murmurs and jubilant gestures among our troops. Their fervour was contagious, spreading an aura of joy and accomplishment throughout the ranks. It was a moment to revel in our success, a testament to our unity and perseverance in the face of formidable challenges.
I, too, felt a surge of pride and satisfaction, witnessing the camaraderie among my fellow creatures. Their resilience and unwavering dedication had led us to this triumphant moment, and it was a victory we celebrated together.
As we approached our territory, the atmosphere grew livelier. Cheerful chirps, exuberant splashes, and joyous leaps filled the aquatic expanse. The sight of our homecoming brought forth a collective sense of relief and elation, a testament to our resilience in defending our domain.
Amidst the jubilation, I took a moment to reflect on the battles we had faced, the challenges we had overcome, and the unity that had fortified us. Our victory was not just in defeating the Stonelord but in the bonds forged among us, strengthening our resolve as a united force.
With hearts filled with pride and a renewed sense of purpose, we entered our territory, greeted by the familiar sights and sounds that defined our underwater haven. The celebration continued, echoing a jubilant chorus honouring our hard-won victory throughout the domain.
In the wake of their return to the Gale Lord's territory, a gathering of sea folk commenced an assembly that resonated with gratitude and reverence. The underwater domain echoed with a harmonious chorus of praise and adulation, celebrating the triumph and safety that had been ensured by their protector.
Volcanicore stood amidst the sea folk, a towering figure amid the aquatic throng, his presence commanding attention and respect. The sea dwellers gathered in unison, hailed him as the new Gale Lord, their voices rising in a harmonious symphony of reverence and appreciation.
"Volcanicore! Gale Lord! Protector of our realm!" echoed the voices of the sea folk, their words reverberating through the submerged expanse. Each voice carried with it a heartfelt gratitude and acknowledgement of his valour and leadership in defending their territory.
A wave of unity swept through the assembly, an acknowledgement of the newfound protector of their domain. The sea folk, from the smallest creatures to the largest denizens, hailed Volcanicore as their champion and guardian, embodying resilience and strength in the face of adversity.
In this momentous gathering, amidst the jubilation and acclamation, Volcanicore stood humbly, acknowledging their praise with a nod of gratitude. The weight of their collective trust and admiration rested upon him, a mantle of responsibility he proudly accepted.
As the cheers and praises continued to resonate, the sea folk looked upon their new Gale Lord with unwavering faith, finding solace and security in his steadfast protection and unwavering dedication to their underwater realm.
After all the cheer and laughter died down and sea folks returned to their residences, I finally found the solitude to check the new abilities and skills I'd looted this time.

"My lord," Vaela's voice echoed through the underwater currents as she approached, a hint of hesitation in her demeanour. "I hope I'm not intruding on your private time."
I turned towards her, offering a reassuring nod. "Not at all, Vaela. What's on your mind?"
With a respectful demeanour, she continued, "I wanted to express my gratitude. You've done so much for the people of the Gale Lord's territory. Your bravery and leadership in defeating the Stonelord have brought hope and safety to us all."
I considered her words, then replied earnestly, "I appreciate your thanks, Vaela. But truthfully, my actions were driven by a certain selfishness. Defeating the Stonelord wasn't just for the safety of the territory. It was also a pursuit for more experience and power."
Vaela regarded me with a gentle smile, her eyes reflecting understanding. "Your humility is remarkable, Volcanicore. Even if you seek personal growth, your actions have brought tremendous benefit to us all. Your dedication and selflessness shine through despite your ambitions."
Her words resonated within me, a reminder that while personal aspirations fueled my actions, the impact extended beyond selfish motives. It was a humbling realization, acknowledging that my pursuits for strength intertwined with a greater responsibility to protect and lead those under my care.
