Sanctuary Area, the Bloomshard Castle atop the Mountain of Radiant Zenith.
In the castle's bedroom, Almond opened his eyes and saw Lily's peacefully sleeping face right beside him, making him smile.
The last night was the wildest, so Almond knew Lily wouldn't wake up yet.
'Yeah, this needs to be fixed.'
Almond could only wryly smile as he saw the room in shambles.
He freshened up in the shower and went outside because he could feel his Spirit Wraiths' mood and how eager they were to meet him as they were outside in the training ground.
"Master!"
"Boss!"
"You abandoned us, Q_Q," Sylvia said with a pitiful face.
"Roar!"
"Haha, even Starlight agrees, my lord."
Everyone circled around him like merry kids, expressing themselves in their own way about Almond's absence.
