[: 3rd POV :]
As Daniel had removed the last threat, Arin on the other hand was gazing at him with her own thoughts.
Her ears were still ringing from the collapse of conquerors, envoy and warships alike.
The land, sea and sky was unrecognizable, it was full of fractured land, fading light, scars carved into reality itself, but all she could really see was Daniel.
He stood there as if none of it had mattered.
As if erasing an envoy of Balance, devouring divine beings, and destroyinf an armada was no more taxing than brushing dust from his sleeve.
Her heart hadn't stopped racing yet.
It was a scene that she had never seen or encountered before.
She pressed a hand lightly against her chest, trying to steady her breathing, only to realize it wasn't fear that made her tremble anymore.
It was something else.
'He didn't hesitate…' she thought, watching him from behind.
She was more than just admiring him at this moment.
