"By the way, do you want to check what we got as a reward earlier?" Soren suggested. "I'm really curious."
"Of course," Ethea said, nodding. "I almost forgot about it."
Soren then took out the large box and opened it.
"Whoa!"
Two of them exclaimed at the same time.
Inside the box were six beautifully crafted figurines, each one depicting a character from the story. Theo, in his golden armor, his sword raised. Mona, with flames swirling around her hands. Elea in her masked assassin gear, daggers crossed. The boy with red eyes and pitch-black skin, holding a tiny dagger. And the fairy hovering in the air, smiling.
"So this is how I looked?" Soren muttered as he picked up the boy's figurine. Although it looked somewhat cute and eerie at the same time, he could say it certainly, "...I really resembled a monster, huh."
