An Extra’s POV

"Presenting to you all… the Otherworlders: Humanity's Champions!"

The parade around the city was met with a loud uproar from the denizens of the city as all the available heroes of mankind—the Otherworlders—and the representatives of the Nobles, as well as the Royal Council, walked the streets of the Capital.

The streets of the newly rebuilt capital exuded a sense of grandeur and rejuvenation. Cobblestone paths winded gracefully through the city, meticulously maintained and polished to a brilliant sheen.

As the group paraded through, they noticed intricate mosaics inlaid within the streets, depicting the city's rich history and triumphant rise from the ashes.

There were new facilities around, but most of the Capital maintained its old architecture.

The buildings lining the streets were a fine blend of traditional and contemporary architecture.

Towering spires and elegant domes punctuated the skyline, while stout, stone walls and arched windows created an imposing yet welcoming atmosphere.

Overall, the atmosphere in the city was one of celebration.

The banner of the United Human Alliance, an Amalgamation of the crests of all the Nations who banded together against the Dragons, was raised high to represent humanity's pride.

As the flag fluttered in the breeze, the parade passed by.

Musicians played lively tunes, their melodies permeating the air and setting a joyous tone. Crowds of townspeople gathered along the streets, their faces filled with pride and excitement as they cheered and waved to the procession.

Markets and shops are bustling with activity, their stalls brimming with goods from near and far.

Everything felt the same—almost even better.

The main highlight of this parade, however, were the five Otherworlders who led the charge.

Or rather, the one who stood at the forefront.

There were Trisha, Justin, Clark, and Belle—each getting waves and recognition for their accomplishments and strength.

However, the attention they received was dwarfed by the one that was showered on the true savior of the Capital.

The man who defeated the creature of calamity—one whom many had witnessed firsthand,

His name was Rey Skylar; recognized leader of the Otherworlders.
