Successful Detention

Genhuis City.

Gillewart breathed out a sigh of relief.

It wasn't much but he could rejoice a little in the fact that for now, he didn't have to fight hard.

The rising smoke and untamed, scorching heat within the city was telling of the effort he had invested in keeping the infrastructure of one of Pelian's three greatest cities intact. He and a group of other devoted combatants, that is.

Rebuilding was definitely on the agenda now, but one step at a time was the way.

Yet, just in case...

Gillewart sent his gaze upward and wore a solemn look.

He brought his hands up, as if in prayer.

"Gracious omen of the enduring crust, see the rise of my vigour and that of my fortitude," Gillewart chanted.
