"Alright," Sol said smoothly. "Do you want to come to the High Hall too?"
Kira nodded instantly, seemingly relieved by the change in topic, and grabbed her bone sword.
The three of them stepped out and began the walk toward the center of the settlement. The atmosphere in the Veynar tribe had fundamentally, irrevocably changed.

Women whispered excitedly behind their hands. Children stared at him with wide, idolizing eyes. He truly was viewed as the "Divine One" now, the undisputed apex predator of their walls.
They reached the High Hall, a massive structure built directly into the hollowed-out base of the Great Heartwood tree.
