A melodic voice sounded, echoing through the temple's chamber, "You can leave." The moment the voice resonated, the sand monster stood up, bowing deeply towards the woman.
Its massive frame folded in a graceful gesture of respect, its eyes cast downward in a sign of submission. Then, with heavy steps, it departed the room, leaving behind a trail of red dust as its figure dissipated, returning to the desert sands from which it was born.
Inside the temple, Roman's unconscious form still lay before the silent woman, her beauty radiating like a divine aura.
The woman moved, her chains clanking softly as she shifted her position. Her chained hand reached out towards Roman's head, hovering above him like a blessing. Violet-colored fog began seeping from her hand, enveloping Roman in a gentle, ethereal mist.
