Offering Refuge

Astaroth's sudden arrival surprised Silent Light, but even more so his reaction.

"Whoa, dude, calm down!"

"I'd kiss you on the mouth if I didn't think Phoenix would incinerate the both of us! Thank you! Thank you a million times!"

Standing next to them was an emotional Korin, whose eyes could see for the first time in months, tears streaming down them. Standing on his own two feet, he looked down at his regrown limb, with his brand-new eyes, and he couldn't believe it.

Next to him, Aj'axx was stretching out a regrown arm, flexing a limb he hadn't seen in months. His eyes were also foggy with tears, as he held back the urge to join in on Astaroth's hug.

Astaroth was still holding Silent Light tightly, the latter beginning to feel uncomfortable.

"Astaroth, let me go. You're embarrassing me."

"Oh! Sorry! I'm just so happy! I didn't know you could regrow limbs. When did you learn such a spell?"
