The atmosphere following the Spirit Monarch's dramatic intervention was thick with profound respect and immense relief. Velzard, now back in his human form, bowed slightly, a rare display of deference.
"Spirit Monarch Iandyu," Velzard acknowledged, his voice deep but grateful. "Your timely intervention is noted. We thank you for upholding the stability of your magnificent domain."
Luminaire offered a radiant smile. "Iandyu, it has been too long. Your power remains as comforting as the stars."
The Spirit Monarch Iandyu returned their greetings with serene grace. "Lord Velzard, Lady Luminaire, your struggles are known to me. The Cult of the Destroyer grows bold. Your son's burden is a threat that concerns all domains built on life and law. The protection of the Spirit Realm is absolute."
Iandyu then gestured toward a dazzling portal shimmering nearby. "Let us dispense with the formalities of the battlefield. We shall discuss the remedy in a more fitting environment."
