81 The Aftermath

It was almost dawn when the sounds of battle subsided. Harlan, Jayce and Malborne were already back from the other side of the Fortress, the enemies they faced off retreated when the sounds of crumbling walls made by the Spirit King reached their ears.

Aside from a few wounds and scratches, there's nothing life-threatening.

Upon seeing her father, Jayna became a little child as she jumped onto his arms but only for a moment. When she realized we're looking at her, she controlled herself and stepped away from her father.

"Ember. I heard about your mission. You didn't let my little girl suffer, did you?"

Jayce turned to me as he started his doting father act.

He still kept his way of calling me Ember even if I already told him my name. I guess it's because it's easier to pronounce for him but if he continued, then Ember would stop being a legend.

"Father! Do I look like I suffered?"
