In the serene early morning of a new day, Alex returned to the familiar embrace of Elerea Village. He entered his holy place and was greeted by the sight of Fiery Blessing, her small, fiery form now clearly visible as she flitted around excitedly.
"God of Grinding!" she exclaimed with a cheerful chirp, flying closer to Alex's head. "Hey, hey! Look, I can be seen now!"
Alex nodded, a gentle smile gracing his lips. "Glad to hear that..."
"How was the war!? I heard you finished, right? You won, didn't you!?" she asked, her voice bubbling with curiosity.
Alex nodded, confirming her hopes.
