More than a month had elapsed since Nivel departed from Frukbert. As he set foot on the familiar terrain of Ixion, a wave of nostalgia washed over him, prompting a quiet murmur, "I am home."
Navigating the familiar pathways, Nivel found himself at the entrance of the Purgatory Sect. With a sense of urgency, he proceeded towards his destination, his steps guided by the memory of the landscape he once called home.
Arriving at his abode, Nivel caught a glimpse of Miranda engrossed in her cultivation practice. Respecting her concentration, he silently altered his course, opting for a detour to another location.
"Respects to the Sect Master," Nivel declared with a respectful bow in front of a distinguished doorway.
"Enter," a voice from within beckoned, prompting the doors to swing open, revealing an invitation to the sanctum beyond.
