Gift of The Knight #7 - Afterword

The morning sun cast a beautiful glow over the quiet valley, illuminating the white stone of a humble shrine. Etched on its surface was a single name... Aquarius.Serelion knelt before it, placing a single Jadebloom flower at the shrine’s base.“Father... Wherever you are, I hope you’re proud of me.” he said, his voice soft and steady, as his hand gently rested on the pommel of Duodecim. The days of the reign of the Dragonlord Agape had long since faded into whispers of old, but there would always be need of a protector, and just as his father’s mentor Noriko had predicted, Serelion would indeed take up his father’s blade, as the new Emerald Knight. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, letting the warm Summer breeze wash over his scales. When he finally opened them, he saw his teammates waiting for him, including his childhood friend Lilara.
“Rest easy, Father. I’ll do whatever I can to protect the peace you fought for.”With a final glance at the shrine, he turned to his teammates and set off into the world his father and his allies fought so hard to protect. There were rumors of unrest in the Northern Mountains, home to the Behemoths...But Serelion, and his own allies, were ready for whatever lay ahead.This would not be the end of the story of the Emerald Knight - this would be a new chapter.
