Aftermath

The repercussions of the intense clash between Jin woo and Kezess echoed across all three continents, leaving an indelible mark on the fabric of their respective realms. In Epheotus, the Asuras, astonishment and confusion rippled through the ranks of its inhabitants. They were astounded that someone from the supposedly lesser continents could stand against their revered king, challenging their preconceived notions of power and hierarchy.

Dicathein, had nearly been swallowed by the relentless ocean, teetering on the brink of destruction. The Beast Glades, renowned for its untamed beauty, was reduced to mere remnants of their former glory, it's once vibrant landscapes reduced to charred ashes.

In the midst of this chaos, Sylvia emerged as the intermediary between Kezess and Jin woo, assuming the role of a bridge between their conflicting worlds. Her actions left the Asuran leader stunned, unable to fathom the unexpected turn of events and unsure of how to react to the unfolding circumstances.

It took an entire hour for Sylvia to painstakingly explain the complex situation to her father, Kezess. The gravity of the revelation settled upon him, mingling with a mix of emotions that he grappled to process. Following this discussion, Sylvia decided to return to her homeland for the time being, allowing the dust to settle and tensions to ease. In due course, Jin woo, accompanied by Sylvie, would join her, once all the lingering issues had been cleared and the path forward had been defined.

Within the hushed confines of the council room, Jin woo stood at the center, surrounded by the human and elven leaders from both continents.

The air itself seemed to hold its breath, as if even the slightest movement or word could unleash unforeseen consequences, bringing about a swift demise. Even the elven royalty, who had enjoyed a familiarity with Jin woo over time, couldn't help but restrain themselves, suppressing any semblance of familiarity or ease in his presence. They struggled to reconcile the image of the youthful individuals who had once arrived at their kingdom were the dragon princess and the someone who stood on equal footing with the king of deities.

Releasing a weary exhale, Jin woo broke the heavy silence that enveloped the room. "I will be leaving for a while," he announced, attempting to alleviate some of the palpable tension that clung to the atmosphere. The council members could only nod in response, unable to muster the courage to utter a single word in his presence, gripped by an overwhelming sense of caution.

With a heavy heart, Jin woo produced two pendants, the artefacts for the dwarven lances , before tossing them towards Virion. "You will be in charge until I get back," he declared, a warm smile gracing his features. And without further ado, he exited the council room.

He cast his gaze beyond the ascending steps, fixating his eyes upon the presence of two distinct figures. One of them was Sylvie, her delicate fingers fidgeting restlessly, exuding an air of nervousness. The other figure stood before him, an elderly man adorned with flowing white locks and donned in formidable black armor. Remarkably, a third eye adorned his forehead, its vibrant lavender hue resembling a vast ocean. The pantheon warrior, Aldir, who had chosen to open his third eye fully—a gesture that Jin Woo recalled as a display of utmost respect.

"Papa, is everything alright?" Sylvie inquired, approaching him with concern evident in her voice. Jin Woo gently ruffled her hair and summoned a smile, assuring her, "There's nothing wrong princess. However, I need you to stay here for the time being with Arthur and Regis, alright?" Although Sylvie seemed inclined to voice her dissent, Aldir intervened.

"Lord and Lady Indrath, along with the entire clan, wish to see Lady Sylvia's daughter," he interjected, but quickly closed his mouth, observing as Jin Woo's formerly grey irises morphed into an intense shade of purple, radiating a dangerous hue. Aldir, being a seasoned warrior, knew better than to continue his statement.
