Chapter 48 - 48

Ria and Jake's friends were happy for them. They were happy that they made their choice and stayed in the system and the realm. They were happy that they loved their home and their paradise. They were happy that they were happy with themselves and with each other. They saw how they smiled and laughed. They saw how they played and explored. They saw how they created and improved. They saw how they shared and taught. They saw how they lived and loved.

They also had some conversations with Ria and Jake. They told them how much they appreciated them and their choice. They told them how much they enjoyed their system and their realm. They told them how much they learned from them and their dragon. They had some dialogues like these:

Zoe: Ria, Jake, I have to tell you how much I appreciate you and your choice. You guys are awesome. You guys are amazing.

Ria: Thank you, Zoe. You are very sweet and kind.

Jake: Thank you, Zoe. You are very smart and talented.

Ria: What does it mean, Zoe?

Jake: Yeah, what does it mean, Zoe?
