"It's over..." Zephyr said, finally breathing again in relief. "We're alive..."
The people were crying in relief and hugging their loved ones...
The kalzraak army was gone. Cut through the lands, a large dark line stood, passing through the city, the forests and the fields. Inside the line was nothing left, with the exception of a few molten rock formations where houses used to be...
Ili looked at the group of people. "I'm... Sorry about your homes..."
A man walked up from the ground, looking at Ili with a warm smile.
"Don't worry about that now, girl! As long as we're alive, it means that we can rebuild! You saved us all. We don't know how we will ever be able to repay you for what you've done for us!"
Ili's cheeks turned bright red, turning her head down, trying to hide her embarrassment. "There... There is no need for you to repay me in any way! I'm just... I'm just glad that everyone is alright!"
The man laughed, seeing her reaction.
"What is your name?" he asked.
Ili raised her head slightly, looking at him in confusion. "Ili... Ililith..."
"Ililith the Hero..." the man spoke, with a wide smile. "It does have a nice ring to it!"
Everyone around started to cheer her name, the sounds echoing loudly in the air...
"Ililith the Hero!"
"Ililith the Hero!"
"Ililith the Hero!"
Ili looked around her. Her master's words echoed in her head... "to find your own path...". She then looked at Zephyr and Vella, who were happily cheering for her as well...
'My own path...'
She smiled.
'I think I like this path...'
The sun started to rise up in the sky, engulfing the world in a warm, yellow light. The cheers continued to be heard far and wide, echoing through the air.
"Ililith the Hero..."
