Another week flew by, during which nothing unexpected happened. Jade kept following Eldrian around like a loyal puppy, but she kept an appropriate distance to not bother the others while they worked on the walls.
Her presence had bothered Eldrian at first, but after some time passed, he got used to it. She seemed more interesting in the process of making the structures than him—in the magic. So he ignored her as long as she didn't interrupt them or bother them with her charm.
Halfway through the week, Eldrian finally got confirmation from GAIA that Old Sword was safely in the afterlife. The news had been a massive relief for Vivian. She finally calmed down and took some time to process the news.
Hope everyone is enjoying the snippets introducing more of the players. I am planning to slowly show more and more of them and Phoenix.
