With their victory in the Shadowed Valley behind them, Lumi and her friends returned to the Kingdom of Flames, where Queen Ember had prepared a feast in honor of their triumph. The palace glowed warmly under the setting sun, its fiery light casting a comforting glow over the city of Infernia. The people cheered as they passed, recognizing them as the Guardians who had withstood the Black Harp's darkness.
Lumi felt a surge of pride and gratitude, her heart lightened by the smiles and cheers of the kingdom's people. She walked with her friends by her side, each of them wearing a proud smile, their bond stronger than ever.
Inside the palace's grand hall, tables were filled with roasted meats, fragrant stews, spiced breads, and all manner of delicacies unique to the Kingdom of Flames. The air was rich with the scent of smoked peppers, sweet herbs, and embers that seemed to dance along with the laughter and chatter filling the room.
