The sun was setting over the capital as Arkanos and Seraphine rode their horses back from the newly upgraded part of the city.
The streets seemed more vibrant now, filled with the hum of whispers of gratitude from the people as they settled into their new and improved accommodations.
Seraphine glanced at the happy faces of the people, then at Arkanos, who rode quietly with his usual calm and stoic expression.
"The people will speak of today for generations. I am certain they will spread word of you as a man who performs the will of the goddess."
Arkanos nodded but said nothing, his focus ahead as they made their way toward the palace.
Suddenly, a deafening crash echoed.
BOOM.
The ground trembled as a massive figure descended from the sky, landing with a thunderous impact that sent dust billowing into the air.
The horses neighed in fright, rearing momentarily before calming under the firm hands of their riders.
