With Head Held High
After she lets go of her hug, Valeria tells me she will be waiting at the river before disappearing from the place.
I am glad that we can finally bond with each other after a month of not doing so, but also irked at her choice to leave me behind. I mean, she can just teleport me with her since we are going to the same place.
Still, I don't really dwell too much on that. Valeria always does everything for a reason; just like how she doesn't explain a thing about why she has to show me the growth of the Heroes here, in front of the Throne of Eternity.
This is the first time Valeria has asked me to see what the Heroes are up to here; usually, we do it in my hut. Like always though, she also doesn't explain anything about the Heroes' growth.
She only lets me watch—she wants me to see with my own eyes, and understand what I am up against in the future. She knows that I understand of what is happening, so she doesn't bother to explain the situation to me.
