Alex and Brittany exchanged a glance, a silent acknowledgment of their shared accomplishment. They had faced danger, overcome adversity, and emerged victorious. Their journey was far from over, but for now, they could rest assured that they had made a difference.
As they left the king's chamber, a sense of accomplishment and camaraderie filled their hearts.
The cool morning air washed over Brittany as she stepped outside the castle gates, stretching her arms high above her head. Her body ached with a pleasant soreness, a testament to the grueling battle they had fought the previous night.
"I could really use a good sleep," she muttered to herself, a yawn escaping her lips.
"Yeah, you've been wearing that armor all day, haven't you?" Alex's voice sounded from behind her.
Brittany turned to face him, a small smile spreading across her lips. "See you later, Alex," she replied.
