"Ahhh! Happiness...what a wonderful feeling that is."
Gregor walked down the road with a big broad smile plastered on his face. His heart was calm and more importantly at peace.
As the late afternoon sun dipped low in the sky, its golden rays cast a warm glow over Greyvale City, wrapping it in a comforting embrace.
He walked along a quieter side street, the sturdy stone pavement beneath his boots both familiar and reassuring.
A cool breeze whispered through the air, carrying with it the tempting aroma of freshly baked bread from local bakeries, the rhythmic clang of metal from distant workshops, and the distant laughter of children playing beyond the cobbled houses.
For the first time in ages, Gregor's shadow didn't reflect the haunted figure of a man on edge, it mirrored someone who stood a bit taller, someone at peace with himself.
