Aaron paused, considering her words, the idea of a brief respite appealing like a calm oasis in the midst of a storm-ravaged desert.
"Alright then. Won't be so bad to rest for a day," Aaron agreed, deciding to have just one day to himself before the rigorous actions of grinding, a small smile curving his lips as he envisioned the temporary peace.
He understood that his quests to gain strength now would be widely different from the past, each challenge ahead looming larger, demanding more cunning and resilience than ever before.
This time, he had a lot to fight for, motivations burning brightly in his heart like eternal flames, fueling his path forward with unbreakable purpose.
Aaron needed to mend his wounded soul, the invisible scars throbbing faintly within him, a constant reminder of the battles yet to come.
