Bab 48: Ancient City

And so, as the first stars of evening began to twinkle in the twilight sky, Alan and his companions made their way back to the heart of Arinthia, welcomed as heroes by the townsfolk who had gathered to celebrate their return. The air was filled with music and merriment, the joyous sound of bells ringing through the air, a testament to the resilience and spirit of the people.

The village elder approached them, her eyes glistening with unshed tears of gratitude. "You have given us back our future," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "For that, we are eternally grateful."

As the celebration continued into the night, Alan and his friends shared stories of their journey, their laughter mingling with the music that filled the air. But even as they reveled in the joy of their victory, Alan's thoughts drifted to the future, to the unknown adventures that lay ahead.
