The time for departure had come once again.
Alex stood outside the Beast God's palace with Bladedance by his side.
The Beast God and her people stood before them, all ready to say their goodbyes.
"You have helped me a great deal these past few decades, Soulmother. I shall repay you once I return to my people in a few years' time," Bladedance said.
"There's no need for it, senior," the Beast God said quickly, bowing. "It was an honor to host you and your disciple."
She then faced Alex. "I wish you luck in your journey, young man. May everything you do bear countless fruits."
"Thank you, senior."
Alex bowed deeply. He looked at everyone standing beside the Beast God and thanked them as well.
"Let us leave."
With those simple words from Bladedance, Alex left behind the people who had housed and protected him for the better part of his stay in this world.
He did not say it aloud, but he fully intended to show his gratitude through his actions in the future.
