"Cyrus…" Roxanna called his name in a soft, trembling voice. She wanted to run to him right away, but he was still focused on burning the eagle beastmen, making her hesitate.
But to her surprise, Cyrus suddenly turned toward her. The fierce glow in his amber eyes slowly faded, like raging flames being calmed by gentle rain.
The fire surrounding his body gradually disappeared as well, yet the flames burning the eagle beastmen continued to rage without weakening at all.
"I thought…" Roxanna's voice broke from crying, leaving her unable to finish her sentence.
"I came back to you," Cyrus said with a small smile. "Just like I promised."
That only made Roxanna want to cry even harder. Still, she forced herself to step closer to him. The smell of smoke and ash filled the air, but the moment she threw herself into his arms, Cyrus' scent became the only thing she could focus on.
