As night fell, the entire Valley of the Giant's Sleep transformed into a sea of joy. Massive bonfires blazed fiercely, the roaring flames reflecting red on the faces of both Giants and humans. Large chunks of Magical Beast Meat were roasted over the fire, sizzling loudly. As the fat dripped into the flames, the air filled with tantalizing aromas.
The Giants sang and danced around the bonfires. Their rugged voices echoed through the valley, filled with yearning for their new lives and gratitude toward Raylo. The human craftsmen and soldiers also set aside their usual restraint, sharing ale and roasted meat with these good-natured giants.
Sitting at the seat of honor, Raylo raised his cup alongside Kado, Ed, and the others. Looking at the lively and harmonious scene before him, he knew that the Hill Giant race had finally, truly integrated into the Black Stone Territory.
The revelry lasted late into the night.
The next day.
