The Rewards of Battle

When the Bloody Lily had made her decision, Maelstrom looked into her eyes and seeing how determined she looked, he nodded.

With a snap of his fingers, the demon steward led him and the player back into the Surtr Throne Room, right in front of the Fire God, who was resting on his flaming throne. He was resting his face in one clenched hand and looking at Bloody Lily with his flaming eyes.

The light of the dancing flames around the god highlighted his colossal figure and imposing aura. 

Maelstrom stood next to the player, only his countenance looked completely different from before. He always looked calm, but there was a touch of superiority in his gaze, unlike now, as his head was tilted firmly downwards.
