As Joan and everyone rebuilt their lives in the wake of Alex's passing, the world of Earlmoth began to shine once more. The dark clouds of despair that had loomed over them gradually gave way to hope and renewal. The rebuilding process wasn't just physical—it was emotional and spiritual, a testament to the enduring strength of those who had survived.
In the heart of their rebuilt community, they had erected a grand monument in honor of Alex. It was a statue, larger than life, depicting him in his iconic samurai armor, standing tall and proud with his katana held in both hands, a symbol of his unwavering resolve. The base of the statue bore an inscription that read, "Alex: The Hero of Earlmoth." This monument had quickly become a place of pilgrimage for people from all corners of Earlmoth, who came to pay their respects to the man who had sacrificed so much to save them.
