Freya.

As Nova placed his hand on the queen's grave, the energy within him surged to an unprecedented level. The purity of his energy became unstable, a radiant force that even Ignis, his loyal companion, struggled to contain. The previous queen's remains, however, proved to be a perfect vessel for Nova's overwhelming power.

A blinding light enveloped the burial site, pulsating waves of energy released into the surroundings. The remains gathered and took form, shaping a reborn entity that bore a striking resemblance to Nova. Her hair, features, and essence mirrored that of Nova's, almost like a long-lost sibling. The reborn entity bowed respectfully before Nova.

Nova, intrigued and somewhat taken aback by the familiarity of the entity, asked, "What is your name?"

The unknown entity, now reborn, replied, "I lost my name when I died, Master. Please bestow upon me a new name and make me your servant."

Nova, true to his nature, responded, "I don't take servants, but you can be my friend. Your name shall be Freya."

Freya expressed gratitude, "Thank you, my Lord."

Nova instructed Freya to head to the guild, advising her to stay in his room to avoid drawing unnecessary attention. With that, Nova sealed the Red Groove and returned to the ongoing celebration.

Back at the Celebration:

Ignis continued the announcement about the Chaos Orb, revealing its unique properties and the potential consequences of its usage. The wordplay and bidding wars ensued among the important figures present at the celebration, each vying for the coveted artifact.

The auction reached its peak as Ragnar, the saint from the COC Alliance, emerged victorious with a bid of 50 '7th class ' alliance mages and 500 pure star energies. The transaction between Ignis and Ragnar took place, marking the exchange of the rare Chaos Orb for a considerable force of mages and star energies.

Queen Sylvie, intrigued by the acquisition, inquired about the orb's origin. Ignis explained, "In the void near Earth-666, where a small rupture is opened, I ventured. The orb was discovered on an ancient altar."

While Ignis handled the affairs at the celebration, Nova took him aside upon his return. In a quiet corner, Nova divulged the details of his exploration in the Red Groove, the awakening of the spectral guards, and the rebirth of Freya.

Ignis, ever loyal and attentive, absorbed the information. Nova explained the extraordinary powers exhibited by Freya, showcasing her abilities with a simple leap that allowed her to gracefully soar towards the guild.

"I sense great potential in Freya. She's not just an ordinary entity. There's something unique about her," Nova shared with Ignis.

Ignis, contemplating the significance of Freya's emergence, acknowledged Nova's observations. "Indeed, my lord."

Freya's Arrival at the Guild:

Freya arrived at the guild, her presence causing a stir among the guild members. With a gentle smile, she explained her purpose and assurance from Nova to stay in his room. As she floated effortlessly through the air, the guild members could not help but marvel at the grace and power emanating from this mysterious companion.

In Nova's absence, Freya explored the guild, interacting with the members and adapting to her newfound existence. The unique energy that she exuded left an indelible mark on the guild, sparking a sense of curiosity and awe among those who encountered her.

-The Celebrations-

Queen Sylvie addressing the assembly, '"Thank you all for joining me tonight. Our beloved Thran is at a crossroads, and your wisdom and alliances will be crucial in navigating the path ahead.'

Return to the Guild:

As Nova and Ignis made preparations to leave the accommodation provided by Queen Sylvie, the night air was filled with a sense of anticipation. Nova felt a pressing need to return to the guild, where his presence was not only desired but also necessary.

Nova addressing Queen Sylvie, "Your Majesty, the time has come for me to depart. The guild beckons, and my presence is needed. I am grateful for the hospitality you've extended."

Queen Sylvie with a regal nod, "Mr. Nova, it has been a pleasure to host you in Thran. Your quest intrigues me, and I look forward to witnessing the echoes of your journey. Remember, our doors are always open to you."

Nova with wishful thinking, "Thank you, My Queen. Before I go, I must request a favor. Should you find the opportunity to meet Lady Cynthia, please send word to me. It holds great significance to my quest."

-Back at the Guild-

The following morning, as the sun painted the sky with hues of dawn, Nova, Ignis, and Freya emerged from their quarters within the guild. Word had spread about Nova's return, accompanied by the enigmatic Freya and the mighty Ignis. The guild members, caught in the current of excitement, gathered in the central courtyard to welcome their questmaster.

Guild Member said, "Nova's back! I heard he brought powerful mages with him!"

Guild Member said, "And who's that ethereal beauty by his side? I've never seen anyone like her!"

As Nova stepped into the courtyard, the anticipation reached a crescendo. The guild members, both seasoned adventurers and novice aspirants, erupted in applause. The cheers and applause reverberated through the guild, echoing in harmony with the heartbeat of Thran.

Guild Member 3 said, "Look at Vice Quest Master Ignis! He's practically a living volcano!"

Guild Member 4 said, "Whoever Quest Master Nova brings always means something big is happening. I can feel it!"

The courtyard was adorned with banners and flags, creating a festive atmosphere. The 7th class mages, clad in their formidable attire, stood in formation, a symbol of strength that caught the eyes of everyone present.

Guild Member 5 said, "Are those the 7th class mages Nova brought? I've heard they're among the best in the COC Alliance!"

As Nova acknowledged the warm welcome with a nod and a faint smile, Ignis and Freya stood at his side, radiating a palpable energy. The guild members, though curious about the enigmatic Freya, respected the air of mystery surrounding her.

Nova (raising his hand for silence) "Thank you, my fellow guild members! Your warm welcome is truly appreciated. Today, we stand united, bound by the threads of our shared purpose. These 7th class mages are here not just as guests but as members as my own unit."

The guild members erupted in cheers once again, their spirits ignited by Nova's words. The 7th class mages, understanding the significance of their presence, nodded in acknowledgment.

Ignis said, "Let this grand welcome mark the beginning of a new chapter for our guild. Together, we shall face the challenges that lie ahead!"

As Nova, Ignis, Freya, and the 7th class mages proceeded into the guild hall, the camaraderie and excitement among the guild members hinted at the profound impact Nova's return would have on the guild.
