Chapter 72: Step Back

Third Person's POV

The journey back to their nations was filled with a palpable sense of victory and relief. The warriors, mages, and knights who had fought so bravely against the dark forces marched with their heads held high, their spirits buoyed by their hard-won triumph. Banners fluttered in the breeze, and the sounds of laughter and song filled the air as they made their way home.

The young lad secretly watched from a distance as the people reveled in their success. He found a quiet spot on a hill overlooking the road to their nations, where he could see the jubilant parade but remain unseen. From his vantage point, he could observe the joy and pride that radiated from the returning heroes.
