After everything ended, Kael, with his back resting on Igni's stomach, sat on the ground. The Fox sat on his lap; he wanted Cirri to join too, but the Primordial Sky Dragon turned down the offer.
The Dragon feared more reinforcements, so she stayed in her sky form, patrolling the surroundings.
Around him were the Sky Kingdom General and Soldiers, still kneeling on the ground since Kael had not given them permission to stand. The soldiers stared at the Hero with different looks on their faces—some felt humiliated, some were angry, and some… some were guilty. A few were even scared or were mourning for their friends' or their beasts' deaths.
Kael, however, did not care about them or what they thought. With one hand, he gently ruffled Vitaria's fur, making sure he didn't touch any bruises, and in the other—he held the communication crystal.
The crystal pulsed once—then Kael activated it.
And almost instantly—in less than a second—a voice burst through.
[KAEL!]
