The silence after the battle felt almost surreal. A sense of peace filled the air, enveloping Elandor and the underworld in a way none present had ever experienced. The portal connecting the two realms, now intact and emanating a gentle aura of perfectly balanced light and darkness, represented the lasting bond between light and shadow.
As Elysiel and Seraphis gazed at the portal, they both felt the weight of everything they had endured to reach this moment. They were exhausted, marked by the physical and emotional scars of the conflict, but the love and respect they held for each other were now stronger than ever. The decision they had made to sacrifice parts of their essences to protect the twins had forged an unbreakable bond between them and their children, and this was now reflected in the world around them.
