The battle was over, and the kingdom was safe. Ling and the sorcerers stood victorious, their magic spent but their spirits high. They had saved the kingdom from the evil's destruction, and they had done it together.
As they caught their breath, Ling couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. She had come a long way since her journey began, and she had grown into a powerful sorceress.
The sorcerers began to tend to the wounded, using their magic to heal the injuries. Ling joined in, using her own magic to help. As they worked, the kingdom's guards arrived, responding to the aftermath of the battle.
The guards were amazed by the sight of the sorcerers, their magic still glowing with power. They thanked Ling and the sorcerers, praising their bravery and skill.
Ling smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude and humility. She knew that she couldn't have done it without the sorcerers, and she was grateful for their help.
As the guards took control of the situation, Ling and the sorcerers were hailed as heroes. The kingdom's people gathered around them, thanking them and praising their bravery.
Ling felt a sense of unease, unsure of how to react to the praise. She knew that she had done what was necessary, but she didn't feel like a hero.
Shin noticed Ling's discomfort and smiled. "You're a hero, Ling," she said. "You saved the kingdom, and you did it with courage and her friends. You deserve all the praise you're getting."
Ling smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Shin. She knew that she had found a true friend in Shin, and she was grateful for her support.
As the day went on, Ling and the sorcerers were celebrated as heroes. They were showered with gifts and praise, and they were hailed as the saviors of the kingdom.
Ling knew that she would never forget this experience. She had grown as a sorceress, and she had found a new sense of purpose. She was ready for whatever lay ahead, knowing that she had the support of her friends and the kingdom.
