You all returned to Rainbow Guardian City as evening settled in.
While walking through the peaceful streets toward the central longhouse, Miya suddenly leaned close to Liora. She spoke in a very soft, private whisper — using just enough magic so that only Liora could hear her words:
"Next time we're free… you're welcome to watch as much as you like. Without Grim knowing, of course. I'll even charge you a small fee for the show~"
Miya finished with a playful "Hihi~" and a mischievous smile, clearly joking.
Liora's face instantly turned bright red. She blinked several times, then gave a shy, embarrassed smile and replied in an equally quiet voice:
"…I accept."
Miya chuckled softly, tail swishing with amusement, and patted Liora's shoulder gently. "Don't take it seriously. I was just teasing."
Liora nodded, still blushing, but the small smile remained on her lips.
Later that night, after everyone had settled back into the city, you decided to check on the situation with the Goddess.
You snapped your fingers once, silently wishing to know the current status.
The vision came instantly and clearly:
The Goddess had just failed at breaking the final seal.
She stood before the massive sphere of black chains in the forbidden void, breathing heavily, golden energy crackling wildly around her. The last seal was still intact — cracked and weakened, but not broken. The First Djinn's crimson eyes glowed hungrily from within, his ancient laughter echoing.
The Goddess slammed her fist against the seal in frustration, her beautiful face twisted with rage and exhaustion.
"Damn it…! So close…!"
She stepped back, breathing hard, then snarled into the darkness:
"I will be back. I will bring more help. This isn't over."
With a swirl of golden light, she vanished from the void, retreating to regroup and find new allies or power sources.
The final seal on the First Djinn remained — for now.
Back in Rainbow Guardian City, you opened your eyes. Miya, Lukas, and Liora were all looking at you, sensing that you had just checked something important.
Miya tilted her head. "My lord…? Did something happen with the Goddess?"
Lukas's shadows flickered slightly. "Is she getting closer?"
The city slept peacefully around you. The new guilds were quiet for the night. The rainbow aura glowed softly overhead
