The spectacle drew the attention of two nearby knights. One nudged the other, pointing towards the commotion.
"What in the world are they doing?" he murmured, his brow furrowed in confusion.
"I don't know," the other knight replied, squinting. "But his hand is glowing… that's Alex, isn't it?"
"Yeah, I recognize him. The next hero leader…"
Suddenly, Alex's gaze, sharp and focused, darted towards them. Despite the distance, there was no mistaking the intensity in his eyes. "You two knights as well, would you like to receive a blessing from a god?" he boomed, his voice carrying an undercurrent of power
The two knights exchanged a stunned look. The offer, unexpected and almost surreal, sent a jolt of nervous excitement through them.
Without a word, they abandoned their post and scurried towards the growing line, their initial apprehension replaced by a fervent hope for a touch of divine power.
