The celebration on the wall of Cameron Town grew louder and warmer with every passing minute.
Guards and awakeners hugged each other, laughed, and shouted names into the night sky. The 500 town guards below joined in, raising their weapons and cheering wildly.
"Captain Isha!!!"
"Vikram!!!"
"Carol!!!"
"Plant Team!!!"
Sana, Kavya, and Ayesha were still glued to Vikram, happily kissing his cheeks one after another in pure joy and relief.
"You were amazing!" Sana laughed, pressing another kiss.
"We actually survived…" Kavya whispered, kissing his other cheek.
"Our hero," Ayesha added softly, giving him a warm kiss as well.
Vikram accepted it all with a gentle smile, his heart feeling lighter than it had in a long time.
The Plant Sprouts became the center of attention. Guards and awakeners surrounded them, patting their heads and backs.
