"FOR YOUR GREAT PERFORMANCE AND FOR DEMONSTRATING TO THIS OLD MAN THAT THERE'S STILL HOPE OUT THERE… I SHALL GRANT YOU THE BEST REWARD FOR THE FIRST TRIAL."
"R-Reward?" Aquarina muttered, barely breathing.
FLAAASH!
A wave of warm light enveloped everyone, instantly healing their bodies to normal and nearly fully restoring their Mana.
"Woah?! I'm healed!" Silvia said happily.
"Not even our exhaustion remains…" Justicio said. "Wait a second, was that the reward?!"
"NOT AT ALL. THAT WAS MERELY A SHOWCASE OF MY APPRECIATION. NOW… THIS IS YOUR REWARD."
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Three spheres of brown and golden light descended, brimming with divine and spiritual energies. There were only three, for Aquarina, Silvia, and Justicio.
"Ooh, wait, what about Pyuku?" Aquarina asked.
"YOUR FAMILIARS WILL SHARE THE REWARD THROUGH YOUR CONNECTION AND BONDS."
"TOUCH THE INHERITANCE ORBS AND ABSORB THEIR POWER. YOU WILL INHERIT A FRAGMENT OF MY ENDURANCE."
