"Meow, it's you!!!" Mimi exclaimed, her eyes widening in delight.
The little divine flame flickered and swayed at the tip of her tail, glowing more intense for a moment as if happily dancing in response to her words.
"Hihi, I thought you disappeared! How come you're still here?" Mimi asked again, tilting her head with childlike wonder.
Of course, the divine flame couldn't answer in words. It only continued to burn softly, its gentle light pulsing like a heartbeat.
So Zephyrona spoke up instead.
"It's because we freed it, Mimi!"
"Oh? Freed it?" Mimi's ears perked, her curiosity bubbling over.
"Yup!" Zephyrona nodded. "After that demon's demise, the divine flame was no longer bound to its mission of guarding and suppressing him. Now, it's free to do as it wishes."
"Ooooohhh!" Mimi gasped.
