Chapter 44: The Littlest Snake Girl, Wadjet

As the gentle twilight of the Mystic Meadows began to give way to the deeper hues of the evening, Aergia knew it was time to return to her friends at the Ursa Minor guild. She slowly opened her eyes, blinking sleepily as she took in the serene beauty of Asphodel's realm one last time.

Asphodel, still seated beneath the giant Sakura tree, smiled warmly at Aergia. "It's time for you to go back, little one. Your friends are waiting for you."

Aergia nodded, her heart filled with gratitude and a touch of reluctance. She had grown fond of the tranquil meadows and the comforting presence of Asphodel and the panda guardian. "Thank you for everything, Asphodel. And you, too," she said, looking up at the giant panda guardian who had watched over her with such gentle wisdom.

With its serene, wise eyes, the panda guardian bowed its head slightly. "Take care, Aergia. Remember, you carry the blessings of the mystic realm with you. Let them guide and protect you."
