Arlo, gazing at the sky, murmured, "Such a splendid day."
The sky was a canvas of blue, adorned with clouds lazily drifting by, and a gentle breeze was blowing.
"Beautiful day, my butt."
Remi retorted, landing on Arlo with a thud as he lay on his back.
"Arlo, we won, bastard, we defeated those beasts!" Remi hollered, his voice echoing in the open air.
"Get off, you're squashing me," Arlo managed to grunt, feeling the weight of Remi on him.
In an instant, Dustin yanked Remi away, and Avena helped Arlo to his feet. As Arlo straightened up, Avena embraced him, and Dustin joined in. Suddenly, they were all lifted off the ground by Sophia's towering figure.
Avena expressed her gratitude, "Arlo, thank you for safeguarding us all."
Arlo was taken aback as the usually proud Avena thanked him. Dustin, tears streaming down his face, stammered, "Sir Arlo, I...I thought we had lost you."
