From the air, Valdris looked different than it did before the corruption crisis. The skyline changed after the dragon attack, and plants have regrown in some damaged areas.
The view from the noble district showed a city that was recovering, growing, and more alive than before. Rick noticed this every time he came back to it: how stubborn a place could be that wouldn't stop.
When heroes came back, word spread quickly. By the time Sylvia flew over the city, there was a crowd in the landing district.
She changed back into a person high above the buildings and came down next to the group with the kind of casual grace that made people on the ground stop and stare.
Rick landed without any fuss, and... the crowd cheered anyway.
"THERE HE IS!!! OUR SAVIOOORRRRR~!"
"THE MILF LOVEEERRRR~!"
"W-What the fuck...?" Rick looked confused while the others tried not to laugh at him.
And there, Rick can see Fredrich was at the platform.
