Back in Dew Lake, the celebrations for Ursa Minor's victory filled the town square. Banners and lanterns adorned every building, and people gathered to share in the stories of the battle for the Veil Anchor. For the guild members, it was a night of warmth, laughter, and storytelling, with each member recounting their unique experience in the marshlands and the thrilling final confrontation with the Harbinger.
Blakely found herself at the heart of the crowd, her friends surrounding her as she described the climactic battle. Esme laughed as she shared how Blakely's pandas had fought ferociously to protect their master, and Maven chimed in with tales of her illusions distracting the shadow creatures.
Blakely glanced around at the crowd, her heart swelling with pride. They had safeguarded Morphantasia, but it felt deeper than that. They'd protected the people they cared about and proven that they could face any darkness together.
