Silent Devotion

As the days passed, Velira’s presence became a strange comfort to Emmic, though he would never admit it. She stayed by his side through every challenge, her magic complementing his immense power in ways he hadn’t expected. Her quiet strength and unwavering loyalty were something he hadn’t encountered before. She never pried into his past or his purpose but simply followed him, always ready to lend her aid.

Velira's feelings for Emmic grew stronger with each passing day. There was something about his stoic nature, his resolve, and the way he carried such immense power with such restraint that drew her to him. Despite his cold exterior, she could see the depths of his compassion—especially when it came to the little girl he was trying so desperately to save. She loved him, not just for his strength, but for the kindness he tried so hard to hide.

For Emmic, Velira became an unexpected ally, someone he could rely on without having to explain himself. She never questioned his decisions, but her presence made the burden he carried feel a little lighter. Her deep mana pool and elven magic were invaluable on their missions, and over time, the two of them became an unstoppable force.

Together, they hunted down bounties and gathered the shards he needed to pay for the little girl’s treatment. Emmic was always focused on his goal, but in the quiet moments between their battles, he couldn’t help but notice the way Velira looked at him—with a devotion and warmth he hadn’t experienced before.

As the third week approached, Emmic found himself standing on the verge of success. He had gathered almost all the shards he needed. But something in the back of his mind told him that the challenges ahead would be even greater. With Velira by his side, however, he felt an odd sense of comfort—something he hadn't known in a long time.
