The celebratory banquet lasted a few hours before concluding. All the welcomed guests were escorted to their respective vehicles or other means of transportation after sharing their final congratulations with Zerim.
Soon enough, all that remained was Zerim and his family, with Kieran standing close by.
Zerim held an exquisite box in his grasp while approaching Kieran.
"I understand your schedule may be full, so I won't invite you to stay longer than you must. However, I want to ensure this makes it into your hands because, as my family promised, you deserve a commemorative gift."
Kieran accepted the box, and while no energy leaked from it, Kieran could feel a subtle warmth. That warmth was naturally the presence of a Core Flame, admittedly a Tier 3 one since Ezrath suggested Zairen prepare one of this level.
The second chapter of the day.
