Caelus and Sylvia appeared inside Genesis Town near the central plaza, the massive Town Crystal floating above the combined Town Hall casting a gentle golden glow across the surrounding buildings.
Unlike their usual routine, Caelus didn't immediately head toward Mason's shop or the market portal.
Instead, he stood quietly in place, his gaze moving slowly across the sprawling settlement that now belonged to them.
This was the first time they had truly looked around after merging ten towns together.
"We've never actually inspected our own town," he said to Sylvia.
Sylvia stepped beside him and followed his gaze across the busy streets.
Genesis Town stretched far beyond what either of them had expected, the merged territories creating a settlement that felt almost overwhelming in its sheer size.
The differences between the original towns remained obvious everywhere they looked.
Some roads were beautifully paved with smooth stone while others suddenly became rough dirt paths.
