　　Hadrian and Royce stepped out of the South Tower into a throng of deliriously happy people—each of whom had expected to already be dead. Every one had gathered together at the water`s edge to die as a group. Instead, they witnessed the fiery venting of twin towers that made tear soaked cheeks glisten. By dawn, those who had fled on foot would likely see the venting from the highland plains and turn back. The Crown Jewel would also spot the spray and return by sunrise. But that first night was special. Everyone who stood on that boardwalk at moonrise had faced and accepted death together. The truth of their differences had been revealed by the darkness of that penultimate pause as absurd foolishness, and this clarity of understanding formed everlasting bonds. Dwarfs, elves, Calians, subjects and the nobility of the seven kingdoms of Avryn, and even Ba Ran Ghazel were forever wielded together by the great forge of Drumindor into a family—not of shared blood but collective spirit. The returning residents would celebrate the survival of the city, but those who never left experienced a transformative rebirth. Their lives, hearts, and minds forever changed. And every member of that unlikely family had witnessed Royce and Hadrian exit Drumindor.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
