"What's that supposed to mean… God of Grinding?"Sebastian finally broke the silence, his voice a mere whisper.
Gariel tilted his head, his brow furrowed in thought. "Grinding… does he mean like sharpening a sword, like a blacksmith?"

Adika scratched his head, a hint of confusion flickering in his eyes. "Ah… grinding, I think he might be referring to… games? That's a popular term in those, isn't it?"

Silence descended once more, broken only by the chirping of birds.
Sebastian and Gariel exchanged glances, a mixture of disbelief and amusement dancing in their eyes.
