.: GIFTS OF THE CELESTIAL GODS :.

After Aria's celestial display in protecting Esther, the group found themselves within a sacred Celestial Sanctuary—an ethereal realm where the divine essence of celestial gods lingered in the cosmic air. The celestial currents whispered tales of gratitude for Aria's selfless act.

In the heart of the sanctuary, the Celestial Gods manifested—a congregation of radiant beings bathed in cosmic light. They acknowledged Aria's celestial prowess with words that resonated like celestial melodies. Aria, humbled by the celestial recognition, felt a surge of divine energy coursing through her being.

The celestial gods, with a gesture, bestowed upon Aria a celestial bow crafted from the essence of the stars—a weapon that would amplify her ethereal archery to celestial heights. The bow glowed with a cosmic radiance, a symbol of the gods' appreciation for Aria's dedication to the celestial balance.

As Aria accepted the divine gift, a beam of celestial light enveloped her, imprinting celestial markings upon her form—a testament to the sacred bond forged between the celestial gods and the guardian who protected the Celestial Heir.

Meanwhile, as the group rested beneath the cosmic canopy of the Celestial Sanctuary, Esther turned her attention to Solarius. A celestial unease lingered in the air as she questioned the Flame Warden about his true motives in joining their celestial quest.

Solarius, with a charismatic smile that flickered like celestial flames, attempted to deflect the inquiry with playful banter and enigmatic answers. The group, however, pressed him further, their celestial curiosity outweighing Solarius' attempts to change the topic.

In an unexpected surge of fiery brilliance, Solarius transformed into a luminous aura of celestial flames. The group, bewildered by the sudden metamorphosis, witnessed as the Flame Warden's fiery essence ascended into the cosmic currents, leaving nothing but celestial embers in his wake.

Esther, holding onto a mix of curiosity and celestial apprehension, gazed at the remnants of Solarius' departure. The celestial gods, silent witnesses to the unfolding events, whispered through the cosmic winds, leaving the group with lingering questions about the enigmatic Flame Warden.

As the celestial embers faded into the cosmic tapestry, the group, now marked by both celestial rewards and mysteries, prepared to continue their celestial quest. The Chronicles of the Celestial Heir unfolded with celestial revelations and unforeseen challenges, as the group ventured deeper into the celestial unknown—guided by the gifts of the celestial gods and the lingering echoes of Solarius' fiery presence.
