Ascension

Alex sat in front of Ma Rong's grave for nearly 15 minutes, simply having a one-way conversation with his master. As this was most likely the last time he was going to get to talk to her here, he wanted to make the most of this conversation.

Alas, it was time to leave. There were people waiting for him, and he had already angered the heaven by what he did with the Demon Realm. He could force himself to stay much longer if he wanted to, but he decided not to do that.

"I must leave now, Master," Alex said softly and quickly went from sitting to being on his knees. He bowed slowly and deeply. "Thank you for everything you did for me. Goodbye."

Alex stood up and turned to leave. He stopped and turned around one last time. After a bit of thought, he used his True Metal Dao to create a barrier around the grave with the most Intent he could muster at the moment.
