The Sacred Instrument
With the sacred instrument in hand, I made my way to the entrance of the ruins. Outside, Eldrich, the elder of the City of Winds, was waiting with a worried expression. Upon seeing me, Eldrich’s face lit up with relief, and he rushed over. “Lord Mitam, thank goodness you’re safe!” Eldrich’s voice was trembling. I showed him the sacred instrument and replied. “I have defeated the Dark Spirit. The City of Winds is safe now.” Eldrich nodded deeply and expressed his gratitude. “Lord Mitam, thanks to you, the City of Winds has been saved. We cannot thank you enough.” I replied to Eldrich’s words, feeling a little embarrassed. “I have merely fulfilled the mission entrusted to me by the King of Winds.” At that moment, a light shone down upon the skies of the City of Winds. The light gradually grew brighter, eventually revealing the figure of the King of the Winds. The King of the Winds spoke to me in a gentle voice. “Mitam, well done for defeating the Dark Spirit. Your courage and strength will be a beacon of hope for the people of the City of Winds.” I bowed my head deeply in response to the King of the Winds’ words. “King of the Wind, I am honored to have lived up to your expectations.” The King of the Wind nodded with satisfaction and vanished along with the light. Eldritch urged me to return to the City of the Wind. “Lord Mitam, the people of the city are eagerly awaiting your return. “Come, let us return to the city together.” I nodded at Eldrich’s words and began walking along the path leading to the City of Winds. As we neared the city, I could hear the cheers of the people. They welcomed me as a hero and expressed their gratitude. I was led to the square in the heart of the city. A large crowd had gathered there, eagerly awaiting my arrival. Eldrich stepped onto the podium in the center of the square and addressed the crowd. “Everyone, this is Lord Mitam, the hero who defeated the Dark Spirit and saved the City of Winds!” At Eldrich’s words, the people cheered and applauded me. Though I was a little taken aback, I waved back to the crowd in response. That night, I was invited to the castle of the City of Winds, where a grand banquet was held. A variety of dishes were served, and the people sang, danced, and shared their joy. While enjoying my time with them, I was able to learn deeply about the culture and history of the City of Winds. At the end of the banquet, Eldrich presented me with a special gift as a token of his gratitude. It was an ancient book passed down in the City of Winds. It seems the book contains knowledge about wind magic and methods for interacting with wind spirits. I accepted Eldritch’s gift and expressed my deep gratitude. “Lord Eldritch, this book is extremely precious to me. I will keep it safe and study it carefully.” Eldritch replied with a smile. “Lord Mitam, I hope this book will aid you in your quest.” Those few days in the City of Winds were an unforgettable experience for me. Through interacting with the people and experiencing the culture and history of the City of Winds, I gained new knowledge and experiences. And now, I feel that the time has come for me to set out on a new adventure. With the knowledge and experiences I gained in the City of Winds in my heart, I am setting out on a journey of further exploration.
