Despite the harrowing attack by the Krakenor during the previous day's boat tour, the exploration of the Fairy Cave had concluded on a hopeful note. By the time Lucan and Maris returned to the port, the sky was painted with the hues of the setting sun, signaling the end of another eventful day. The couple made their way back to the hotel, their spirits high despite the recent ordeal.
The hotel was a welcoming refuge, offering a warm bath and a sumptuous dinner. Lucan and Maris enjoyed their meal in the hotel restaurant, a quaint and cozy space that provided a perfect end to their day. As they dined, Lucan couldn't help but notice how Maris seemed to unwind, her usual composure softening into a relaxed demeanor.
When the night fell, they retired to their rooms. The events of the day had exhausted them, and the comfort of their bed was a welcome respite. They both fell asleep with thoughts of the adventures yet to come.
